49ers Secure Bargain Deal with Eddy Pineiro’s 4-Year Contract Extension
The San Francisco 49ers have secured a key player for their special teams. Kicker Eddy Pineiro has signed a four-year contract extension worth $10 million. This deal will keep Pineiro with the team until he is nearly 31 years old.
Details of the Contract Extension
The agreement includes $10 million in guaranteed money. This places Pineiro’s guaranteed amount as the fourth-highest for kickers in the NFL. His total contract value of $17 million makes him the eighth-highest-paid kicker in the league.
- Contract Duration: 4 years
- Total Value: $17 million
- Guaranteed Money: $10 million
- Ages: Pineiro will turn 31 during the contract.
Pineiro’s Performance Record
Pineiro’s recent performance has demonstrated his reliability. Last season, he missed only one field goal attempt. In prior years, he missed four kicks in each of the two seasons while playing with the Panthers, but only two kicks in 2022.
The 49ers’ decision to part ways with Jake Moody appears justified. Moody struggled significantly last season, making Pineiro’s signing even more crucial for the team’s success going forward.
Conclusion
The 49ers’ decision to extend Eddy Pineiro’s contract reflects their commitment to maintaining reliability in their kicking game. With this extension, the 49ers can look forward to four more years of stability in a critical position.
