49ers Sign All-Pro Linebacker Fred Warner to a 3-Year, $63M Extension, AP Source Says
- Fred Warner finalized a contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara that spans three years and is valued at $63 million, securing his place with the team through the 2029 season.
- The extension follows the 49ers’ offseason focus on rebuilding a youthful defense while retaining key players Warner, George Kittle, and Brock Purdy.
- Warner, a linebacker honored as a first-team All-Pro four times, has been a consistent presence on the field, starting every game from the start of the 2018 season, and spent much of last year competing despite a fractured ankle bone.
- The contract includes over $56 million guaranteed and pays Warner an average of $21 million annually, making him the highest-paid off-ball linebacker.
- This agreement reduces Warner’s salary cap impact in 2025, extends his contract through 2029, and aligns with the 49ers’ goal of contending for the NFC West division with a revitalized defense.
