Signs this offseason have pointed to 49ers center Alex Mack retiring, but there’s been no announcement from him about his plans at this point.<\/p>\n

Thursday brought another development that suggests that announcement will be coming sooner rather than later. Field Yates of ESPN reports that Mack has agreed<\/a> to reduce his base salaries in each of the next two seasons.<\/p>\n

Mack’s base salary for this season drops from $ 5 million to $ 1.12 million. It goes from $ 3.35 million to $ 1.165 million next year.<\/p>\n

The move creates cap space for the 49ers now and that could be put toward a move to secure Mack’s potential replacement. Former Browns center JC Tretter is the top available free agent at the position, but the 49ers could also look for a trade when and if Mack announces he’s done playing football.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
