[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 742059"] I don't either. 0verthecap.com shows a $9.6 mil dead cap from this move. Other reports say $9.4 mil. Either way, this is a team that had about $63 mil in cap space before the move. While contract details have now been wiped away at the usual sites that carry them, one report says Bowman had a $550,000 per game roster bonus. They will not be paying that, about $6 mil, nor will in count against the cap. What this means is the 49er's did not think keeping was worth about $3.5 mil cash and cap for the balance of this season. With the 49ers going nowhere and Lynch on the new GM 5 year clock (so long as incremental progress is made), they did not see him the future. Bowman not happy with a reduced role probably aggravated the situation bringing an attitude that would not be helpful. This is a guy with 2 major leg injuries in the last 3 years. While elite players often return to elite status after one major injury, the odds drop significantly after two. Achilles is especially problematic. I wouldn't bother even on a cheap deal. [/QUOTE]
