On the #49ers salary penalty that resulted in the loss of a 2025 fifth-round pick, John Lynch said the team overpaid a player $75K during the COVID era. The 49ers made the mistake of trying to recoup it (unsuccessfully) instead of initially reporting it to the league.

49ers: we overpaid you can we get that back?
Player:
Seems like a harmless mistake. I’m still ok with the penalty though. Your accounting has to be 100% with no exceptions. It’s the only way this can work.
I wish I could get accidentally overpaid 75k.
I sure hope the accountant can be ready for OTA’s to make up for this mistake. We need bodies out there.
They were busy trying to take money back from school kids in Santa Clara.
