The San Francisco 49ers and Tom Compton have agreed to a reworked contract, which drops the offensive lineman's base salary from $2.15 million to $1.05 million, making the additional $1.1 million available via bonuses.
News of the restructure was first reported by Field Yates of ESPN.
The 49ers and veteran OL Tom Compton agreed to a reworked contract in which his base salary drops to $1.05M from $2.15M with the chance still to earn money through bonuses. Likely ensures his spot on the roster as a projected backup.
San Francisco agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Compton in March and officially announced the signing in April. The offensive lineman has been competing for the starting right guard job. The move may indicate that the 49ers plan to start Daniel Brunskill at that spot.
Washington made Compton a sixth-round selection out of South Dakota in 2012. He has 99 game appearances and 34 starts through his eight NFL seasons. The offensive lineman also spent time with the New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, and Atlanta Falcons.
Compton started five games with the Jets last season before landing on injured reserve on December 28, 2019. He had a career-high 14 starts at left guard with the Vikings in 2018, missing two games with a knee injury.
