And now the Niners make Fred Warner the highest paid LB.
Sources: 49ers, Fred Warner reach 3-year, $63M extension
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After completing lucrative contract extensions with quarterback
Brock Purdy and tight end
George Kittle in recent weeks, the
San Francisco 49ers had one more key player to take care of to wrap up their most pressing offseason business: linebacker
Fred Warner.
On Monday, the Niners and Warner checked that box as he agreed to a three-year, $63 million contract extension, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal ties Warner to the team through the 2029 season. The reworked deal also returns Warner to the top of the list of highest-paid off-ball linebackers in the league at $21 million per season and adds $56 million in guaranteed money to a deal that no longer had any, the sources told Schefter.
