A year and half after acquiring him from Carolina, the 49ers extended Christian McCaffrey, adding 2 years, $38M new that included $24M fully guaranteed. The deal added $4M cash to his 2024 & 2025 compensation, lowering his cap hit by more than $7.4M for the 2024 season.

Per-Game-Active roster bonuses totaling $500,000 per year are built in to help (lightly) protect the Niners against injury over the course of the contract, which totals $62.2M through 2027. Three void years were added to the back end of the deal for salary cap purposes. Complete breakdown
