Niners Nation on Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey's $12.5M non-guaranteed deal undercuts market; 49ers hesitant on long-term guarantees.

McCaffrey's contract situation raises roster concerns. He is in the next-to-last year of his deal earning $12.5 million with zero guaranteed money, while the positional average is $19 million. Chris Simms cautioned that the 49ers should be reluctant to attach themselves to McCaffrey for additional years with guaranteed money given his age and workload history. Simms also referenced rumblings in training camp last year that McCaffrey wanted a 'refresher' on his contract, suggesting ongoing compensation dissatisfaction.
