Luckily they can cut Sidney Rice to take care of some of that. I think they will have another shot next year but then shrewd drafting will determine their future. They definitely have it in them to stay competitive, but I think Russell Wilson is closer to Flacco than Brady. Tough to commit $100 mil to him.

Kaepernick is entering into the final year of the entry level contract. Once the League year ends the 49ers can begin to discuss an extension.
Wilson has 2 more years so he can't even begin to discuss an extension for another year.
So the Seahawks should have another couple years to keep who they have relatively intact. The 49ers are going to have a much tougher time - the window on the current roster is closing so they need some of the many draft picks they have to pay off.
