Valuable guy for sure, with both ability and attitude. Pay inline with top TEs means they must free serious cap space. How to do that?

Cap may go down $30-80 million next year if they can't have fans in the
stadiums this season.



49ers will have to resign Trent Williams, maybe Sherman, who may want a
big payday if the 49ers have another playoffs season.

Not to mention extend Fred Warner. Is Ford worth possibly losing Kittle, williams or Warner or anyone else to a reduced cap?

Change some contracts if they can. That might be tight because they
did a lot of that last year. They've got $15,737,079 right now. I'm
pretty sure that this isn't enough.

They could save some money with trades and cuts...players they are paying big money who aren't performing, or players they just don't need anymore (their replacements are better and cheaper). Richburg, Coleman, and especially Pettis. Seriously look at Ford as well.
Having said all that, I love the guy, but, I wouldn't pay Kittle 20 mil (his reported demand). Too disruptive to future contracts.

Ford's more of a hangar queen (a plane that looks great, but doesn't
fly much). It's not worth the money if he only shows up near the
second half of the season and the Niners would be smart to draft his
replacement.

When you have a good team and get to a SB, you lose players and
coaches.

They signed a good looking tackle, so they've got some backup for
Williams. Sherm might want a big pay day, but he's likely to be
earning it somewhere else. He's got his stats and all, but he got
fleeced by the Chiefs in the SB. :)

The way the virus keeps spiking, it might come down to them playing in
empty stadiums. Good luck trying to get the fans to pay to watch the
games from home.

Pay for play NFL. Good idea.
Fans definitely WOULD pay to see games, but there are so many "buts" I doubt they could be overcome before the season. Maybe they could pipe in crowd noise to get the players enthused and trick the TV audience. :)
