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.
Below is the
projected contract for Redmond, per salary cap site

The San Francisco 49ers announced on Tuesday that the team has signed cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, an exclusive-rights free agent, to his one-year tender. San Francisco tendered the contract on March 5.

Moseley recorded an interception against Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in that playoff game.

Kyle Juszczyk once again ranked NFL's biggest outlier contract in 2020

Kyle Juszczyk is entering the final year of his four-year, $21 million deal. That is a lot of money for a fullback. Of course, few play-callers value the position as much as San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Bill Barnwell of ESPN once again ranked the NFL's biggest outlier contracts in 2020, and for the fourth year in a row, Juszczyk's deal comes in at No. 1. The deal is a whopping 132 percent above the position average. That's a significant gap.
"The gap between him and the rest of the pack has fallen after the (Derek) Watt and (C.J.) Ham contracts were signed, but there's still a huge space

It was reported in June that the San Francisco 49ers signed head coach Kyle Shanahan to a contract extension, keeping him with the team through the 2025 season. That led to questions about why the team didn't do the same for general manager John Lynch at the time. The two, after all, joined the 49ers at the same time with matching six-year contracts.
Lynch may be getting a new deal soon. That's what he indicated Tuesday morning during an interview on KNBR.
