49ers GM hints San Francisco will re-sign Kyle Juszczyk in Twitter post

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 3/14/21

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said last month that re-signing Kyle Juszczyk was a priority. On Sunday, he hinted that a deal between the franchise and Juszczyk is very close via a Twitter post.

Juszczyk is commonly referred to as "Juice."

I’m thirsty. Niners fans, you want some “Juice?”

San Francisco previously signed Juszczyk to a four-year, $21 million deal, which was the biggest ever given to a fullback. It's unclear how much he'll get this time around, but the 49ers do have $30 million in cap space, so it's no surprise they'll be keeping "Juice" around.

The 29-year-old has played a key role in the San Francisco offense. In 2020, he caught 19 passes for 202 yards and four touchdowns. He also had 17 carries for 64 yards and two scores.
