So when he talks about it, it's a good thing, I think, that he says the standard is not where we're at right now.

I think it would be...

It would be counterproductive to Ben Johnson's agenda and what the goal of the team is if he said, like, this is okay.

But they are in a very tough spot.

And you're right.

There's no such thing as a left tackle store.

I joke about Trent Williams because Trent Williams was available at the left tackle store and it cost the 49ers a lot of their salary cap.

That's why they had to cut a lot of people.

It wasn't just the contract to Brock Purdy, for example.

Clay, I don't think salary cap was available to turn off when we were in high school.

Whoa, whoa, slow down.

And we actually have a cap number today.

Brian McCarthy, NFL PR guy, posted, NFL clubs were informed today that the salary cap for the 2026 season will jump $22 million, which is great, per club to $301.2 million.

Add in another $77.6 million in benefits, which benefits are good, and that's $378.8 million per club in player spending.

Here's a list of the salary cap numbers.

2026, 301.2.

2025, 279.2.

2024, 255.4.

2023 was 224.

2022 was 208.
