In the tweet, it says that McKivitz has a 1-year extension that’ll pay him $7 million with around $4.55 million guaranteed. The front office likely split those guarantees up, so McKivitz won’t account for more than 2 percent of the 49ers cap in 2024 or 2025.
When you see the “$7 million” and read one year, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that the 49ers are paying McKivitz to start.
