Kyle Juszczyk contract remains ‘gold standard’ in discussions of bloated deals

The San Francisco 49ers have put together some strong contracts the past year and a half, but the Kyle Juszczyk contract remains one that comes under somewhat regular criticism. When the 49ers signed him a year ago, the deal paid out more than double that of the next fullback on the list. John Lynch described him as an “offensive weapon” more than a fullback, but it doesn’t change the fact that Juice got big bucks compared to others at his position.
