Yesterday we began looking at what the 49ers\u2019 key pending free agents could end up getting, today we go over nose tackle D.J. Jones.<\/p>\n
Jones has really come on since 2019, becoming a force in the run stuffing game, and also showing unique speed for his size, as he\u2019s been able to run down speedy quarterbacks like Kyler Murray, & Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n
Now, the 49ers re-signed Jones to a 1-year deal, worth $3.5 million, with $3.25 million of it being fully guaranteed, so for a new deal, I\u2019d expect Jones to be able to net in the $6 million a year range.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d expect the 49ers to include yearly $250,000 per game roster bonuses, & yearly $100,000 workout bonuses.<\/p>\n
As for guarantees, I can see Jones getting in the $10 million range, with him getting a bit over $6.2 million in fully guaranteed money.<\/p>\n
I can see Jones potentially netting as high as $10 million a year on the open market, which is a price I\u2019d be willing to pay to Jones, but with the 49ers having so much money tied up on the defensive line, with Arik Armstead at $17 million a year, Nick Bosa likely to get north of $30 million a year, & Samson Ebukam at $6 million a year, I\u2019m not so sure the 49ers will be willing to go that high, especially if they re-sign defensive ends Arden Key, & Jordan Willis, who I\u2019ll go over in the next few days.<\/p>\n
But let\u2019s hope the 49ers do whatever it takes to re-sign D.J. Jones to a long term deal.<\/p>\n
