By attaching three void a very long time to an arrangement that currently terminates in 2028 when McCaffrey will be 32 years of age, the Niners really made cap space in 2024, successfully pushing out the prevailing Hostile Player of the Year’s cap hit until some other time.
As far as yearly worth, McCaffrey is presently $4 million higher than the following most generously compensated running back, the New Orleans Holy people’s Alvin Kamara, whose $15 million yearly normal was at that point following San Francisco’s star before the expansion.
