So yesterday I went over Alex Mack\u2019s contract, so today we\u2019re going to look at Samson Ebukam\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n
Ebukam signed a 2-year deal, worth $12 million, with $5 million fully guaranteed, which consists of a $3.5 million signing bonus, and his 2021 base salary.<\/p>\n
Now let\u2019s take a look at Ebukam\u2019s deal by year.<\/p>\n
2021:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cap Number: $3,720,588 Cash Earned: $5,500,000<\/p>\n 2022:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cap Number: $8,250,000 Cash Earned: $6,500,000<\/p>\n Now this was somewhat of a surprise, seeing as how Ebukam struggled as a Ram at times, with one of the issues being having him play as more as an outside linebacker, trying to cover, when his strength is being a pass rusher, which is why I can see Ebukam having a very good first year, which could lead to a new deal in 2022, that lowers his cap number.<\/p>\n If anyone can get the best out of Ebukam it will be DL Coach Kris Kocurek, who is known as one of the best, if not the best, DL Coach in the NFL.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also shown with the 49ers, during their super bowl run, they had 48 sacks, with Arik Armstead leading to way with 10, while defensive rookie of the year Nick Bosa had 9.<\/p>\n While it also showed last year when Kerry Hyder Jr. had a career high 8.5 sacks.<\/p>\n Hopefully the 49ers have found a player that was just in the wrong scheme, and needed a change of scenery, with him earning a long term spot opposite Nick Bosa on the edge.<\/p>\n And if for some reason Ebukam doesn’t work out in his first season, then the 49ers can release him, and save his entire salary.<\/p>\n
