With free agency heating up, teams around the league are getting creative with the salary cap as they attempt to build out rosters with available free agents.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco 49ers reportedly restructured a contract with one of their key pieces on offense. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 49ers and fullback Kyle Juszczyk have agreed on a restructured contract that will open up about $1.75 million against the 49ers’ salary cap.
