49ers wide receiver Jon Baldwin has reportedly taken a salary cut for 2014.

According to Field Yates of ESPN.com, Baldwin’s base salary has been reduced from $1.4 million to $645,000.

Baldwin can make up the difference in incentives, Yates reported, but the wide receiver would have to play at least 80 percent of the offensive snaps, catch at least 65 passes and rack up more than 800 yards receiving to reach $1.4 million in compensation.

The 24-year-old Baldwin appeared in seven regular-season games for the 49ers in 2013, catching three passes for 28 yards. The 49ers acquired him from Kansas City in August.

Baldwin is in the final year of his contract. He was the Chiefs’ No. 1 pick in 2011.
