Charvarius Ward of the 49ers is itching for some Chiefs retaliation.
For Charvarius Ward, a 49ers-Chiefs Super Bowl showdown is nothing new.
But it’s not like he’s suddenly on the 49ers’ side for Super Bowl 2024 instead of the Chiefs’ side, as he was four years prior in Super Bowl 2020.
Ward remarked, “Over here, it’s better.” “In every manner that is feasible.”
The cornerback for the Second Team All-Pro could not provide any additional details, but he maintained that he had no ill will toward the Chiefs or head coach Andy Reid, who had allowed him to sign a three-year, $40.5 million contract in March 2022.
Spotrac.com reports that during his four years with the Chiefs, he made $5.5 million.
Ward remarked, “I just feel like they didn’t have enough money to compensate me.” “Yes, I wanted to stay,” They desired for me to remain. It was quite evident from Coach Reid. I had to fetch my bag, though.
“I was a young person. Despite not being wealthy yet, I was in the league. My money was necessary. I’m grateful that the 49ers, who were a fantastic club and a Super Bowl candidate, gave me the bag.
After going undrafted in 2018 and being traded by his original team, the Cowboys, for a backup offensive lineman, Ward became a starter in his second season under Steve Spagnuolo, the defensive coordinator for the Chiefs.
When the Chiefs came back to win their first Super Bowl in fifty years, he played 98 percent of the defensive snaps and finished with four tackles.
“[The 49ers] believed they would defeat us,” Ward remarked, briefly reverting to the “us and we” mentality of the Chiefs. “They believed they let the game slip away, but I believed our team was superior at the time. And with the 49ers, I think we have a stronger team all around. I genuinely mean that.
