The contract details are in for most of the San Francisco 49ers\u2019 free agent additions. We asked who you felt would provide the best value<\/a> in this free agency class. Now, we\u2019ll take a look at the contracts, starting with the biggest bargain of all. All of the listed numbers are courtesy of Over the Cap.<\/p>\n

WR Christian Kirk: 1 year, $2.78 million guaranteed<\/p>\n

Base salary: $1.61 million<\/p>\n

Signing bonus: $1.17 million<\/p>\n

If you look at the previous contract Kirk signed, the Niners are getting a massive bargain. He\u2019s coming off a $72 million deal that guaranteed him $37 million and paid him $18 million per year. That was back in 2022. Kirk went over 1,100 receiving yards that season. He\u2019s had 1,405 receiving yards in three seasons since that career year.<\/p>\n

Kirk comes with an injury risk. He will be 30 this season. But for the price, considering what the ceiling could be, it\u2019s a quality deal. If Kirk has a handful of games where he produces, the contract will be worth it.<\/p>\n

LB Dre Greenlaw: 1 year, $6 million (fully guaranteed)<\/p>\n

Base salary: $2.6 million<\/p>\n

Signing bonus: $2.5 million<\/p>\n

Cap number: $3.55 million<\/p>\n

Greenlaw is signed for one year on paper, but his deal includes four void years for salary cap purposes. Take, for example, Greenlaw\u2019s $2.5 million signing bonus. That\u2019ll stretch out through five seasons at $500,000 against the cap. The Niners will pay him $3.5 million in guarantees this season. Add in a $50,000 workout bonus, and that\u2019s how you get his cap number.<\/p>\n

Greenlaw also gets $850,000 in 2026 for a per-game roster bonus. He will count against the cap in 2027, but only at $2.5 million. The contract is structured in a way that the 49ers could give Dre enough money to sign without taking on too much of a cap burden for this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

CB Nate Hobbs: 1 year, $1.86 million guaranteed<\/p>\n

Base salary: $1.86 million<\/p>\n

Signing bonus: $1.25 million<\/p>\n

Cap number: $3.38 million<\/p>\n

Hobbs\u2019 contract is straightforward. There aren\u2019t any additional void or ghost years. It\u2019s a one-year deal with a $340,000 per game roster bonus and a $50,000 workout bonus.<\/p>\n

Hobbs is another player coming off a deal that did not work out. His previous contract totalled $48 million with $16 in guarantees. That was last offseason from the Packers. Hobbs best work came in the slot last season. He\u2019s never been much of a special teams player. We will see what his role with the 49ers will be next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The contract details are in for most of the San Francisco 49ers\u2019 free agent additions.
