On Monday, the San Francisco 49ers re-signed offensive lineman Ben Bartch, ensuring he wouldn't become a free agent on March 12. According to OverTheCap.com, the one-year deal includes a base salary of $1.17 million—the veteran minimum for a player with Bartch's experience—a $142,500 signing bonus, and a $25,000 workout bonus, bringing the total contract value to approximately $1.34 million.
The deal carries a salary-cap hit of $1.197 million for the upcoming season.
Last week, the NFL sent a memo to teams projecting the 2025 salary cap to fall between $277.5 million and $281.5 million per team. Based on these projections, the 49ers are expected to have between $48.5 million and $52.5 million in available cap space. However, much of that is earmarked for the future, as quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to secure one of the league's largest contracts soon.
Here's a breakdown of Ben Bartch's contract details, per OverTheCap.com:
