As the 49ers look to continue George Kittle‘s tenure with the team, another tight end investment is being made. Luke Farrell has agreed to a three-year contract with San Francisco, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Farrell will earn $11MM guaranteed, per Rapoport. The pact has a maximum value of $20.25MM. The 27-year-old has cashed in considerably after playing out his rookie contract with the Jaguars.
More to come…
John Lynch just randomly woke up and decided to give a guy with 36 career catches 318 yards and 0 td’s in four seasons almost $6.25M AAV.
Just because he can’t draft TE2 and keeps cutting them after year 2….
Wasted cap space.
Ever think maybe he is very good at blocking?
Please stop, he could be a fantastic blocking TE for all I care, Lynch also drafted Cameron Fatu 2 years ago and proceeded to cut him. He was the 101st pick in that draft, drafted Charlie Woener also under his watch and he’s no longer on the team. This is money they could have saved and gotten themselves an impact player on a roster that’s begging and desperate to win and they choose to sign a blocking TE with that cap space?
Never got to see Latu play really. Niners are very weird with TEs who aren’t Kittle. Gave Atlanta 2 of them last year. Dwelley and Charlie
Not sexy but smart. #2 ranked blocking tight end last season This is a Juszczyk depth piece, as well. Can play that role too.
Yup! Plus he’ll play on Special Teams as well. More of a very good depth piece. Sounds like the 49ers will target the trenches in the draft mostly.
Thanks for the ranking info shamrocks. I just didn’t get this contract based on his offensive stats
He gave him 3.67 in reality and if he reaches something like that max value then it’s worth it?
I feel like you’re new and don’t get why you structure things a certain way. If they hit the bonuses, then they’re obviously worthy of the deal. If not, that’s why you give them a lower deal.
I’m not new lol but go ahead and think that. Obviously base salary/bonuses haven’t been updated yet so I went by the actual salary length and terms.
