According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the San Francisco 49ers restructured the Weston Richburg center’s contract, creating a $ 6.875 million salary cap. Rapoport adds that the offensive line veteran is likely to retire.
The move offers 49ers nearly $ 32 million in salary cap space, according to OverTheCap.com. Of course, this does not break with the two-year, $ 10.1 million agreement recently agreed by defender Emmanuel Moseley, as the structure of the contract is not yet known.
Accounting for this MA:
– # 49ers restructured C Weston Richburg, creating $ 6.875 million room for the player who is likely to retire.
– Details about the 2 #Bancnote defenders who took less to help the team: Mario Addison ($ 1.99 million less) and Vernon Butler ($ 2 million less), because there are incentives.– Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 13, 2021
San Francisco originally signed Richburg on a five-year, $ 47.5 million contract on March 14, 2018 and began 15 games in his first season with the team. The center suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during week 14 of the 2019 season, landed on the injured reserve and missed the last stage of the 49ers’ Super Bowl race.
Richburg started the 2020 season on the reserve / physically-incapable list and did not appear in a game. He had several operations since the injury. In addition to knee surgery, he underwent shoulder surgery, which was credited for his failure in 2020. Most recently, he underwent hip surgery.
This is the second time the 49ers have restructured Richburg’s contract to create a salary cap. The team has done this before, in December 2019.

The worst case scenario for the 49-year-old in this off-season would be to see All-Pro leaving Trent Williams to leave for free. Outside of last season, the team sent a selection from the 3rd round of the Washington football team to acquire Williams, then restructured its business to offer him a small salary increase and included the language in the contract that stated that they will not use the 2021 franchise label. Looking at the free agents waiting in the attacking position, it is easy to see that Trent Williams is by far the best player available. Williams said he would like to return to the 49ers, which is good news, but he also wants to test the market to determine its value, which could be bad news. There are enough teams at the level of space for the cover, even with a tight season with a cover, and with a need
