Alex Boone appears to have won his standoff with the San Francisco 49ers.
 |
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that the guard is expected to report to the Niners in the next day or so, according to a league source. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the development.
Rapoport reported that the Niners ended the lengthy standoff by rolling Boone's incentives into his base salary. Boone can now make $6 million in salary over the next two years. Before the deal was reworked, Boone was scheduled to make $3.7 million in salary. He can earn $8 million if he earns All-Pro nods in both seasons.
Boone, 27, has been a rock on Jim Harbaugh's offensive line, starting 38 straight games over the past two seasons. With trouble on other fronts, this is a headache the organization is glad to be rid of.
