Kyle Juszczyk

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the 49ers and Kyle Juszczyk agreed to a restructured contract.

The move clears $1.75 million in cap space for San Francisco. According to Schefter, Juszczyk remains the highest-paid fullback in the NFL. Juszczyk is one of the league’s best fullbacks, but he plays a dying position, limiting his market value. That leverage likely made it easier for the 49ers to get him to take a pay cut, even if he remains one of the richest players at the position. Juszczyk totaled 14 carries for 119 yards and two scores last year.
