Christian McCaffrey's new contract info is not yet out. Contrary to some tweets I've seen, we don't know how it'll impact the 49ers' salary-cap situation in the short or long term. I have predicted that SF will open up some 2024 space

And then of course the fact that he averages almost 20 TDs/season.
It's a lot of $$$, but really SF had to pay him. Without him they weren't getting to the SB. He's the most important, and indispensable, piece on that offense.
He was already getting paid though. He now gets an extra $4MM per year the next 2 years and an extension. [Reply]

Meh, if I were a SF fan I wouldn't have any issues with him getting paid. Less than I do about JJ getting his $$$. I didn't hear that he was unhappy with his contract, but I haven't been paying real close attention to SF since the SB either.
And CMC, as an elite RB and a great receiver, is worth the $$$, where a lot of these guys that just got paid probably aren't. [Reply]

Not my $, not my team, but I think its dumb to pay a RB that kind of $.
A soon as he has a predictable season where he misses 8-9 games everyone will say the same thing. [Reply]
