49ers Strike Pricey Deal with Kicker Eddy Piñeiro to Keep Him Off Market

Eddy Piñeiro signed a four-year, $17 million extension with $10 million guaranteed after leading the 49ers with a 96.6% field goal success rate last season.

  • On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers agreed to a four-year, $17 million extension for kicker Eddy Piñeiro that includes $10 million guaranteed, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • Niners general manager John Lynch said retaining Eddy Piñeiro was a top offseason priority last month, and the extension keeps Piñeiro, who signed in Week 2 last season, off the early free-agent negotiating window opening Monday.
  • Piñeiro's season numbers show he led the NFL with a 96.6% field-goal rate, making 28 of 29 attempts with his lone miss a Dec. 22, 64-yard attempt.
  • The 49ers re-signed long snapper Jon Weeks on Tuesday, while punter Thomas Morstead remains a free agent among their three specialists; ESPN reports the Piñeiro contract ranks 13th in AAV as 19 players enter Monday's free agency talks.
  • John Lynch, Niners general manager, praised Piñeiro, `Eddy was obviously fantastic` and `I don't know if a guy could have come in and done any better`, while Piñeiro thanked family, faith and the 49ers in an Instagram post after five prior NFL seasons.
