49ers signed first-round pick In exchange for a fully guaranteed $12.5 million four-year contract, Ricky Pearsall.

Breaking news from Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area: Ricky Pearsall, the San Francisco 49ers’ first-round selection, has just signed a big four-year contract. This $12.5 million contract is totally guaranteed.

Thanks to the NFL, the rookie compensation scale is fixed, thus the exact number was never in doubt. Furthermore, first-round contracts come with a 100% guarantee. When an agency and the team cannot agree on offset language, it would make sense for contracts to be in effect. Assume for any reason that Pearsall is let go following Year 3. One topic of offset language that the parties could talk about is the amount of money that the Niners owe Pearsall compared to his new team.

We’re talking about “should the 49ers pay Pearsall” three years from now after he performs above and above expectations. There are several instances, but the Niners and Pearsall hope it never comes to that. With Pearsall agreed to a contract, the 49ers have signed every draft pick from 2024.
