| Rookie Lineman Heitmann Agrees To Contract July 17 2002 By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included Rookie, offensive lineman Eric Heitmann agreed to a contract with the 49ers. The seventh round pick agreed to a deal that included $29 000 and the league minimum salaries for each of the next three years. The 49ers have listed Heitmann as a guard and center, officially giving them a backup to Jeremy Newberry. The seventh round pick is virtually assured a roster position due to the lack of competition along the offensive line.
Heitmann has had a productive mini-camp. Most importantly he did not show any adverse effects of a stress fracture that was discovered during the NFL Draft combine.
