The 49ers said Wednesday they plan to release defensive tackle Javon Hargrave with a post-June 1 designation, but that wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. is not going anywhere.
.in recent months, it left questions about whether both players were on their way out of San Francisco.
The 49ers restructured Samuel's contract in September, a move that meant if the Niners were to trade or release him before June 1, 2025, they'd have to absorb a $31.55 million dead money hit on the cap. If they did want to move on from him with a post-June 1 designation before his March 23 option bonus is due, they could have decreased that number to cap hits of $10,751,753 over the next couple of years.
"We do have some challenges and so this doesn't mean we can't compete for his services," Lynch said. "Rather than waiting until post-June 1 and being because free agency already happened, it gives him an opportunity to go see what his market is. And that may include us ... We know Javon. He's on a good track coming back from his injury. And would we be interested in having him? Of course.
According to Shanahan, Kubiak has effectively been the offensive coordinator in recent years but hasn't had the title. Shanahan will continue as the primary playcaller but Kubiak will continue to have a big say in the game plan and get the occasional chance to call plays as he did against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18.
