If Christian McCaffrey is absent from voluntary OTAs due to his desire for a pay raise, then he is absolutely going to get what he wants from the 49ers. Here is why.
Initially, it didn't seem like a big deal and it possibly still is the case. However, there may be more to McCaffrey's absence from OTAs than simply not wanting to participate. On Wednesday, 49ers position coaches were made available to the media. Running backs coach Bobby Turner was asked about McCaffrey's absence and he gave a very eyebrow raising response.
So, does that mean McCaffrey isn't there because he wants a pay raise? It wouldn't be far-fetched at all. McCaffrey is coming off a year where he earned multiple accolades and was in the running for MVP. He is more than justified in seeking his pay raise. This isn't the first time a premier running back sought out a pay raise from the 49ers. Back in 2020 during OTAs, Raheem Mostert was looking for a pay raise himself. Sure enough, the 49ers agreed with him and gave him his well deserved pay raise.
Don't mistake this for a contract extension. McCaffrey won't need to see a lucrative increase in his salary for 2024, but he deserves a nice bump in pay. The. They gave him a $6 million raise on Friday.
