Ricky Pearsall, the new San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, was the No. 31 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Under the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which extends through the 2030 season, all rookie contracts are four years.
Salaries for each draft slot are predetermined based on league revenue. OverTheCap.com projects Pearsall's four-year deal to have a total value of $12.54 million, including a signing bonus of $5.94 million, which will be prorated over the contract's duration. This amount is fully guaranteed.
Pearsall's salary cap impact for the upcoming season is estimated to be approximately $2.28 million, gradually increasing to a $3.99 million salary cap hit in 2027.
While these figures are projections and are subject to slight deviations, OverTheCap.com's rookie salary forecasts have been largely accurate over the years.
As a first-round pick, the 49ers can exercise a fifth-year option on Pearsall in 2028.
San Francisco has a projected rookie salary pool of $10.64 million, based on the team's current 10 selections in the 2024 NFL Draft. This figure may fluctuate if any trades occur in the next two days.
