The San Francisco 49ers agreed to the terms of a restructured two-year deal for the defensive tip Dee Ford. It looks like it’s worth $ 24 million, according to Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

The Kansas City Chiefs pulled Ford out of Auburn with the 23rd overall choice in 2014. San Francisco traded a second-round choice for the pass rusher in 2019, and he registered 6.5 sacks during a first season plagued by injuries with the 49ers. Ford was even less available in 2020, appearing only on its debut and missing the rest of the season due to neck and back injuries. He recorded three tackles in that game against the Arizona Cardinals.
The 49ers could have dismissed Ford and much of his salary if the defender passed a physical exam on April 1. $ 11.6 million of his 2021 salary would be guaranteed at that time if he was still injured. The restructuring could mean that the team did not anticipate that Ford would be healthy on time.
“I think everyone understands that we are a better football team when Dee is there,” said general manager John Lynch in January. “He’s an impactful player. He’s a finisher. He’s very emblematic of many of the problems that plagued our team this year. You know the old saying – the best capacity is availability, and we weren’t available enough this year, and that was for Dee. “
Ford, 29, recorded 154 tackles, 37 sacks, seven defended passes and 11 forced fumbles in his seven seasons in the NFL. He was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2018.
