49ers restructure Kyle Juszczyk's contract; free up $1.75 million [View all]

Multiple reports have said the 49ers have agreed to a deal with fullback Kyle Juszczyk. He restructured his contract and will free up roughly $1.75 million in cap space.

Juszczyk has two years left on his contract. Despite the restructure, he remains the highest-paid fullback in the NFL.

Juszczyk has a difficult job. He’s the player running in motion non-stop before the ball is snapped and rarely gets a target. He does a lot of the dirty work that allows Christian McCaffrey to spring free or Brock Purdy to stay upright in the pocket.

Finding the appropriate valuation for that role is next to impossible. Then, you factor in Juice is 33, but still has two more years on his contract, and you can see why the team approached him about his contract.
