About four or five days ago, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the San Francisco 49ers were releasing fullback Kyle Juszczyk. This news shocked everyone because Juszczyk is a Pro Bowler who has spent the last eight seasons with the team.
Now, another big news came out recently: the 49ers have re-signed the 33-year-old fullback to a 2-year deal. This surprised many, as no one expected the team to bring him back.
Tonight, Adam Schefter shared some big news on Twitter: “Source: Nine-time Pro-Bowl FB Kyle Jusczyk is returning to the 49ers on a two-year, $8 million deal.” Other reports say that Juszczyk turned down a bigger offer from the Pittsburgh Steelers to stay in the Bay Area.

Earlier this week, the 49ers released Juszczyk as part of their plan to manage the salary cap. They had asked him to change his contract last offseason to free up $4 million in space.
Now, Juszczyk is back with the 49ers, playing alongside Christian McCaffrey in the backfield. The goal is to help the team reach the Super Bowl for the third time in seven years.
