The San Francisco 49ers announced their three-year extension with All-Pro Fred Warner that makes him the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in NFL history.

The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced the signing of All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner to a three-year contract extension, keeping him with the team through the 2029 season.

Now, after making Fred Warner the highest-paid inside linebacker in the NFL on Monday, it sure seems like the 49ers had a pretty good plan all along: Retool the roster with an infusion of youth while giving their core of eight star players a two-year window to chase a return to the Super Bowl.
