So a team trading for him will only be responsible for any remaining salary due, which he's pretty much already been paid for this year with the upfront cash upon signing that they had to prorate for eternity. Nice. I wouldn't instantly give him a new deal, he's already been paid for this year, let him earn a new deal the old fashioned way. 

It's also important to keep in mind that while the 49er's will have to eat some dead cap if traded they will also be getting something in return for the trade be it a draft pick(s) or player(s). I don't know how much control he has over any trade as far as what is in his contract but he may want a renegotiation clause as part of the agreement for any trade.  I think he'll want some longer term security with his new team.   Plus the team making the trade will most likely want to because he'll be a free agent in 2026 otherwise.  I'm not sure how much a team will want to give up in trade for a 1 year player.
