The San Francisco 49ers were never going to let kicker Eddy Pineiro test the market. Not after what he did for them in 2025 and how he saved their special teams units.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the 49ers and Pineiro reached an agreement on Saturday that will keep Pineiro around for another four years for $10 million. The extension included $10 million in guarantees for the soon-to-be 31-year-old who missed one field goal attempt last year.
The deal feels like the 49ers came out like bandits.
That $10 million in guarantees is only the fourth-highest in the league. If you’re going by the total value of the $17 million contract, Pineiro is now the eighth-highest-paid kicker in the league.
Pineiro’s history suggests he’s going to be consistent moving forward. He missed four kicks in each of the previous two seasons with the Panthers, but only two back in 2022.
