San Francisco 49ers Lose Star WR In Shocking Trade Proposal With Houston Texans
The San Francisco 49ers have arguably the most talented roster in the NFL.
On both sides of the ball, they have elite playmakers and that’s why many believe they are the favorite to win the Super Bowl this season.
In an article published last week by USA Today, the 2023 San Francisco 49ers actually have a chance to break the record for the most Pro Bowlers in a single season. As it stands, that number is 12.
Technically speaking, the 49ers could still have 12 people named to the Pro Bowl; they just wouldn’t attend. However, the 49ers would have a much better chance of having 12 players reach the Pro Bowl if they didn’t reach the Super Bowl, because whoever represents the NFC would not be sending their players to the Pro Bowl.
As you can see, the Niners have 15 players in the top-ten vote getters at their positions. Here are their ranks in the NFC.
- C Jake Brendel (2nd in NFC)
- CB Charvarius Ward (2nd in NFC)
- CB Deommodore Lenoir (4th in NFC)
- DE Chase Young (2nd in NFC)
- DT Arik Armstead (3rd in NFC)
- FS Tashaun Gipson (3rd in NFC)
- OG Aaron Banks (2nd in NFC)
- OG Spencer Burford (4th in NFC)
- ILB Dre Greenlaw (3rd in NFC)
- K Jake Moody (4th in NFC)
- OLB Oren Burks (6th in NFC)
- RS Ray-Ray McCloud (3rd in NFC)
- OT Colton McKivitz (6th in NFC)
- WR Brandon Aiyuk (5th in NFC)
- WR Deebo Samuel (6th in NFC)
As Pro Football Talk noted, The 49ers have six players who rank among the NFL’s top-three paid at their positions.
They have nine players whose annual pay falls from $34 million to $13.5 million.
It is a team with a lot of highly paid star power, for sure.
And after a round of recent contract adjustments to move some money around, the 49ers also have the most salary-cap space of any team in the NFL.
