The San Francisco 49ers have taken a savvy approach by restructuring cornerback Charvarius Ward’s contract, freeing up almost $10 million in salary-cap space ahead of the new league year. This move positions the team well to be under the cap by $5-7 million, with various options available to manage their salary cap effectively.

In contrast, Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly signed former 49ers defensive lineman Charles Omenihu to a two-year contract worth up to $20 million. However, his future in the NFL may be in jeopardy following his arrest in January 2022 after allegations of domestic violence surfaced.

San Franscisco 49ers lose key players in free agency market

In the meantime, the 49ers have lost several key players to other NFL teams during the free agency market, including Samson Ebukam, Daniel Brunskill, and Charles Omenihu. Ebukam is a speed rusher who recorded five sacks in 2021, while Brunskill played well as a fill-in offensive lineman. And Omenihu recorded five sacks during his time with the Niners.
