49ers Release Pro Bowl Fullback Kyle Juszczyk in Cost-Cutting Move

The nine-time Pro Bowler's departure after eight seasons with San Francisco saves the team significant salary cap space.

Kyle Juszczyk, a nine-time Pro Bowl fullback, has been released by the San Francisco 49ers after eight seasons with the team.
The move is part of the 49ers' efforts to manage salary cap constraints, saving the team $2.9 million, or up to $4.6 million if designated as a post-June 1 release.
Juszczyk, 33, remains confident in his abilities and plans to continue his NFL career, citing no signs of regression in his performance.
The 49ers have restructured their roster this offseason, parting ways with several key players to prioritize younger, less expensive talent.
Juszczyk, a key contributor to the 49ers' offense since 2017, leaves behind a legacy as one of the NFL's top run-blocking fullbacks.
