Warriors in the Pros: Jeff Ulbrich

Matt Maiocco of Instant 49ers writes that linebacker Jeff Ulbrich has taken a pay cut for the upcoming season.

Linebacker Jeff Ulbrich apparently solidified his future with the team this offseason when he accepted a pay reduction from $2.23 million to $950,000. Ulbrich agreed to the new deal, which comes in the final year of his contract, before the club selected McKillop in the draft.

Ulbrich has played nine seasons with the 49ers. Ulbrich made $1.875 million last season. He started the first three games of the season before Takeo Spikes entered the starting lineup at inside linebacker. The club re-signed Spikes as a free agent.

But the 49ers clearly want to keep Ulbrich around as a special-teams ace and backup inside linebacker.

Taking one for the team! Though I guess $950k is still pretty sweet. Can buy lots of Priuses (Prii?) with that.
