Christian McCaffrey’s sidelined with “tightness,” but the real story might be his contract. The 49ers’ star, who led the league in touches last season, is now making just $12.5M this year — outside the top 10 RBs — while peers like Gibbs and Robinson cash in at over $22M annually. Rumors swirl that McCaffrey asked for a raise last year after an All-Pro season, only to be denied. With no future guarantees left on his deal, the Niners may need to sweeten the pot with a bonus or extension to keep their MVP-caliber back healthy and motivated as the season kicks off.
