“As Lynch explained to NBC Sports Bay Area last season when the 49ers had more than $41 million in cap space, there are few drawbacks to creating a big cap cushion. After all, unused dollars from one season roll over to the next year.
“Really, we always look at the cap for three years out,” Lynch said early last season. “Obviously, we have all that room this year. But really it’s to create room for future years because we roll everything over. It helps us in future years because it creates some room we’re going to need.”
The 49ers certainly will need every dollar of cap space in future seasons with quarterback Brock Purdy on track to become the team’s highest-paid player one year from now,
Also, the 49ers would like to sign second-team All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a multi-year extension. Aiyuk currently counts $14.124 million in cap space for the upcoming season after the 49ers picked up his fifth-year option.”

“For those interested in Pro Football Focus grades, Yiadom, who had never graded higher than a 56.8 in a full season, finished with a 81.1 overall grade and an 80.4 coverage grade, overwhelmingly as an outside corner. His overall grade ranked 12th among 133 qualified corners, and his coverage grade ranked 15th. He had a 74.7 run defense grade as well. His 84.4 passer rating against ranked 40th. On the whole, it appears to be a high-upside signing for what is likely a relatively affordable price.”

“All of which suggests the team should take advantage of an uncommonly rich tackle class. There could be two players available toward the end of Round 1. Oklahoma’s Tyler Guyton lacks experience, but he has the build (6 foot 8 with 34 1/8th-inch arms) of an elite pass protector. He could serve a year as the 49ers’ swing tackle, then compete for a starting role in 2025.
Arizona’s Jordan Morgan might not have Guyton’s length, but he’s more experienced and has the light feet to excel in a zone-blocking scheme like the 49ers’. He, too, could begin the season in a backup role and compete for a starting job next year.”
49ers sign former All-Pro Packers LB to 1-year deal
“Now, Campbell is an interesting case of a player who struggled mightily early on in his career, spending the first four years in Atlanta (a former 2016 fourth-round pick), then a year in Arizona before heading to Green Bay where he broke out in a 146-tackle season.
He parlayed that into a five-year, $50 million deal which the Packers terminated earlier this week as a post-June 1 release. Like Arik Armstead, he cannot join his new team until June 1, but the early designation allowed him to find a new team.
