The San Francisco 49ers signed third-round selection
Will Redmond today. The cornerback has signed his four-year contract with the team.
Thanks to the 2011 CBA, all rookie contracts are now for a length of four years. Only first-round selections come with an option for a fifth year, which does not apply to Redmond. Having set numbers for each spot eliminates the need to negotiate salary and only leaves items like bonus payment terms, roster bonus allocations, and other miscellaneous structural items, which is likely what held up Redmond's deal for so long.
Redmond suffered an ACL tear during a Mississippi State practice on October 22, continuing a trend by 49ers general manager Trent Baalke of selecting injured players. However, when speaking to reporters following being drafted, Redmond stated, "I expect to play in 2016," and Baalke said that he is comfortable that the cornerback will be ready in time for the team's training camp.
Redmond could be one of the 49ers' most intriguing selections if he gets completely healthy enough to contribute this season. "In the midst of injury row, Will Redmond saw his final season torpedoed by injury after seven games when he tore his ACL. By that point he had allowed just one touchdown and a passer rating of only 41.0 when targeted by opposing quarterbacks,"
said Sam Monson of
Pro Football Focus.
While Redmond has taken part in the 49ers' offseason program, has been limited as he recovers from his injury.
The signing leaves OG
Joshua Garnett as the only unsigned 49ers rookie.

projected contract for Redmond, per salary cap site

"There remains a pretty significant disconnect philosophically between the 49ers and George Kittle's camp. The 49ers believe they want to reset the tight end market and give him a great tight end deal.

Things don't last long in the NFL. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan knows that. He's lived it his whole life.
Shanahan is the son of a former NFL coach. Aside from a lengthy tenure with the Denver Broncos, his father, Mike Shanahan, never spent more than four consecutive years in one city during his 30 years in the NFL.
When Kyle Shanahan started coaching in the league, he adopted the same lifestyle. It was two years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, four with the Houston Texans, another four with Washington, one season with the Cleveland Browns, and then two with the Atlanta Falcons before being named the 49ers head coach.
