Whoever he might be, the next GM isn’t going to be tied to a bad cap situation in Santa Clara. That gives a new 49ers general manager plenty of room with which to work. Per Over the Cap, the Niners are going to boast $78,199,673 against the estimated $168 million salary cap this year - second most in the NFL behind the Cleveland Browns. Vladimir Ducasse | OL | 3 year, $3.The San Francisco 49ers are in a unique situation heading into the 2017 offseason. Do any of these players deserve to rank in this list? Here are the other external signings from the Bills during this offseason. If he becomes a starter, he might be more valuable than most of the other names on this list. Both Reggie Ragland and Preston Brown are bigger inside linebacker types, meaning Hodges could find a home as a roaming outside linebacker. Hodges was a late-breaking signing for the Bills, and after averaging 60-80 tackles per season over the last three years, he has a chance to break into Buffalo’s linebacking corps. One stat to be wary of, however: he’s missed ten extra points in the past two seasons.

Hauschka, who is 62-of-68 on field goal kicks in his last two seasons, and 7-for-7 on kicks beyond 50 yards, can hopefully deliver some good feelings for Buffalo’s special teams. The Bills are hoping to move on from the bad taste of Dan Carpenter’s last two seasons. Stephen Hauschka | K | 3 year, $8.85 million He’s considered one of the best blocking fullbacks in the NFL, and he also chips in a handful of receptions each season. One of the few important signings on the offensive ball this season, DiMarco will be asked to hold up continuity in the running game in place of Jerome Felton. Patrick DiMarco | FB | 4 year, $8.4 million Tyrod Taylor played well with the 6’4”, 196-pound Justin Hunter in the red zone last season, and the hope is that the 6’5”, 208-pound Holmes will deliver more of the same. Holmes is the most prominent of the veteran receivers signed by Buffalo this year, and heading into training camp he seems most likely to stick as a starter on the outside of the formation. While Poyer only has two career interceptions, he had 13 while playing for Oregon State, and the Bills are hoping they’ll see good production on the field this year since their next-most reliable option at safety is special teams ace Colt Anderson. He’s started 36 games for the past three seasons with the Cleveland Browns, although a lacerated kidney ended his 2016 season prematurely. Where Hyde is a hybrid defender who has split his time between cornerback and safety in his career, Poyer fits more neatly into a safety role.

The Bills would also like to bring him down into the box on nickel looks - but if they want to get creative, they’ll need to rely on the next player on this list. He immediately walks into a starting safety role on the team, and the team will be counting on him to lead the defensive backfield for the next few years.

Of all of Buffalo’s signings, Hyde is far-and-away the most valuable. Which of these players will have the most impact in the upcoming season? 1. The rest of Buffalo’s veteran signings were mostly role players and depth. Sure, they added safety Micah Hyde on a five-year, $30.5 million contract, but they also let Stephon Gilmore and Robert Woods walk to other teams on $65 million and $34 million deals, respectively. The Buffalo Bills weren’t especially big spenders in free agency during the 2017 offseason.
