On today's episode of The 415ers, Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi break down the economics of the San Francisco 49ers' roster. Just how are they developing their roster, and is it different than how the rest of the league is building their rosters? What does that tell us about the 49ers strengths and weaknesses and can we expect the 49ers to eventually have an economic structure like the rest of the league?

Plus, the guys react to ESPN analyst Louis Riddick's claim that the NFC West is "wide open" for the Seattle Seahawks in 2023. But is it? Do the 49ers have a stranglehold on the division or is Seattle closer than we'd expect? Did both teams improve this offseason?

Also, what would qualify as a 'special' season for the 49ers in 2023? Is it just Super Bowl or bust for San Francisco, or is there room for special storylines, moments, and individual accomplishments to sneak in, much like last season?
