Former Niners linebacker Chris Borland will pay back ¾ of his signing bonus, saying his playing in the NFL was not a cash grab and he’s only taking the money he earned. Borland, as a third-round draft pick last year, had a four-year contract that included a signing bonus of $617,436. Three-quarters of that bonus would be $463,077 and Borland paying it back would give the 49ers a bit of a bump in their salary cap space.
