The 49ers’ initial deal with fullback Kyle Juszczyk seemed overly expensive, yet the revealed details showed why Paraag Marathe is still a master.

There might not be an award for NFL’s best contracts negotiator. But if there was one, the San Francisco 49ers‘ own, Paraag Marathe, should receive it.

The team’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations and chief contracts architect sure made his own salary worthwhile in the handling of one of many tricky deals the Niners would have to engineer amid a decreased salary cap and a slew of rostered players hitting NFL free agency this offseason.
