Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle provided some of the details on the new five-year, $27 million deal for Kyle Juszczyk. As expected, it would appear that the contract backloads much of the fullback's salary.
Juszczyk's deal includes the following:
Base salary of $1.07 million, fully guaranteed, in 2021
Base salary of $1.12 million, fully guaranteed, in 2022
Base salary of $4.75 million, $1.25 guaranteed, in 2023
Base salary of $5.75 million in 2024
Base salary of $5.75 million in 2025
$4 million signing bonus, likely spread out throughout the length of the contract
$2.155 million option bonus for 2023 to 2025, which needs to be exercised by April 1, 2022, with a $2.155 million non-exercise fee
According to Spotrac.com, Juszczyk will have the following salary-cap hits over the next five years:
$2.28 million in 2021
$2.96 million in 2022
$6.59 million in 2023
$7.56 million in 2024

The 49ers have a potential out on the deal after the 2023 season, before those hits of $7.56 million in each of the next two years.
