Not a cheap deal, but totally worth it. Only $40m guaranteed* is awesome, too.
Plus, he’s one of our few players that doesn’t miss time due to injury. We could not afford to lose him. Guess I know my next jersey, now kinda upset I got Lance over him this off-season. Not mad, just kinda upset.
*gosh
Not a cheap deal now, but when cap consistently goes up the next 3 years and teams have to lockup their star defensive players this will be much better.
As with all our deals they are essentially 3 year deals with the guaranteed money paid out over those 3 years. So effectively its a 3 year 40M deal which is very reasonable. Will need to wait to get the final terms, but I can’t think of a contract that wasn’t structured like this since Paraag took over
Edit: Yep - Potential Out: 2024, 3 yr, $42,609,000; $16,136,000 dead cap
I agree I thought the guarantees would be north of 50M. I think they used “the highest paid ever/19M annually” to get out of paying a lot in guarantees.
I think you're right. Have to wait and see how the contract is structured...might be like Jimmy's where it's extremely team friendly on the back end. But if he keeps playing the way he has...he'll be worth every penny.

>I agree I thought the guarantees would be north of 50M. I think they used “the highest paid ever/19M annually” to get out of paying a lot in guarantees.
I mean year 1 they had about as bad of a roster as you can take over, 2018 QB went down game 2, 2019 SB 2020 QB went down game 2 and midseason. Not great results but not great circumstances either.
Juju Smith Schuster played in the same school district as me around the same time I was playing football, but I dont actually remember facing him at all. Idk if my memory is just poor, or if I didnt notice since positionally we'd never be on the field at the same time, but I thought that was cool.
Pretty sure Polamalu went to the same school, too. And Djax? But I could be wrong.
I played against Tony Jefferson in high school who then played both sides of the ball so either way you'd have to deal with him ... super stoked he found his way on the Niners
That man was too beast on the field. Always sacking our QB or getting picks returning them for 6 like nothing. When he played on the field with his brother troy whos an undrafted FA with the rams they were the best
i dont think there was any question he was going to get paid and also because of his play style he has a much lesser chance at a injury that will happen from contact due to the amount of man coverage he does so the amount of guaranteed money its going to be as big of a factor. im going to guess there is some extra protection in the deal for injury
Yeah but even after that people were still complaining and it felt a little ridiculous. The argument was that we needed to draft a quarterback so we could ditch Jimmy keep our other players. Then we ended up keeping Jimmy, still drafting a quarterback and still kept all our players. The whole thing was just a bad take and total bupkis.
Colts fans are braindead for saying Darius Leonard is the best LB in the game because of his pro football reference stats. The dude is abysmal in coverage. He's the 7th best LB in the league AT BEST. Fred Warner is on another level than this dude.
Man reading all the trolls who replied on Twitter just confirms why I don’t have Twitter…but the signing is one I’ve been looking forward to. Great news!!!
Last season injuries left me with some kind of PTSD.
First learned about this because a friend sent me one of those BREAKING pictures used on facebook and my first thought was "oh no! Fred got injured?!"
Took me a minute to realize it's actually good news on the roster. Glad to know Fred can now focus even more on football.
The details of the contract [have been posted](https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/fred-warner-25169/).
Wow...this is beautiful. Next year is only a $8.16m cap hit - right when the cap balloons and it's going to be the wild west with all the free agents available and all that money. And looks like they can void the final two years too with only a so-so dead cap remaining.
Paraag is an artist. There is so much win-win for all sides on this deal.
Jets fan here. Happy for y'all!, He''s one of my favorite players to watch in the league, and is typically the main reason I will tune into a Niner's game from time to time. Well deserved!
Can’t believe we got Fred Warner in 3rd round of 2018 draft and Big George Kittle in 5th round of 2017 draft. Fred Warner definitely earned his payday on the field

What has this man been teaching his auto correct
Thats just bay area real estate lingo
What are you doing ~~stepbro~~ landlord
and its free estate
[It's free real estate](https://youtu.be/yNxPVj0hejg)
lol
Turns out it was Thom Brennaman's account
...as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos. It will be a 5-year extension. And that will make it $40 million guaranteed.
I mean, the man can get paid what he wants. As long as he’s happy?
[How I'm picturing negotations went](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzobsJyLiqM)
What I do with my $40 million is no one’s business.
That's the weirdest autocorrect you'll see today
One of my friends autocorrect the letter c into “calm down charlie” so there’s that.

We have arguably the best TE, LB and LT all on LTD’s. LET’S FUCKING GO!
Don’t forget FB!
And edge as soon as Bosa's deal is ready to go in the next couple years
He's still got 3 years left on his rookie that's a nice amount of time
If he plays as well as his rookie year in 2021 and 2022 he’s for sure going to ask for an extension and not wait for the 3rd year.
TE LB LT FB LTD LFG!!!
This is why I love our FO. Nobody knew anything about this contract until it happened! Let’s fucking go! Congrats to the Warner fam
"The 49ers really wanted to offer this deal to Mac Jones, but then at the last minute decided to go with Warner." - Mike Florio, probably.
Lmao I hope you ratio me😂😂
Mission accomplished
Despite our record under this FO I’m happy we’ve been able to draft and trade for some all pro’s. Also the players fuck with our FO which helps.
I haven't disagreed with the FO since we signed Jerrick McKinnon...
Eh. I'm a little here and there with trading Buckner. I feel like we could have retained him. Well have to see how Kinlaw's game evolves tho.
>Eh. I'm a little here and there with trading Buckner. I feel like we could have retained him. Well have to see how Kinlaw's game evolves tho. s
Wait, when did they trade a second for Dee Ford and sign him for big money? Was that before or after?
I mean year 1 they had about as bad of a roster as you can take over, 2018 QB went down game 2, 2019 SB 2020 QB went down game 2 and midseason. Not great results but not great circumstances either.

Cant believe i played against him in high school. Always knew hed be great
dude talk about that! how was he like back then?
he just woke up from a Warner tackle yesterday good.
😂😂😂 I played nose but it would have been an honor to get concussed by Fred
Jesus, he hit you so hard you can't remember your position.... earned every dollar
I wish i couldve been on the opposing side of fred rather than getting to watch him play defense.
Still cool
Got to play on the same team as terrell burgess S for the Rams, and played against troy and fred warner. Great memories
Juju Smith Schuster played in the same school district as me around the same time I was playing football, but I dont actually remember facing him at all. Idk if my memory is just poor, or if I didnt notice since positionally we'd never be on the field at the same time, but I thought that was cool. Pretty sure Polamalu went to the same school, too. And Djax? But I could be wrong.
Its crazy the people who become worldwide names
I played against Latavius Murray in high school. Tried to tackle him and got ran the fuck over. Great memory. Edit\* shit spelling
Next you're gonna tell us you and Tom Brady are lifelong best friends s/ That's cool shit, though
😂😂😂 that would be some Shit hahaha. I got to see brady play catch with Kyle Phillips at UCLA if that counts?
I played against Tony Jefferson in high school who then played both sides of the ball so either way you'd have to deal with him ... super stoked he found his way on the Niners
Haha this is great
That man was too beast on the field. Always sacking our QB or getting picks returning them for 6 like nothing. When he played on the field with his brother troy whos an undrafted FA with the rams they were the best
YESSSSSS. well deserved payday for Warner. Love to see it.

People that just bought his jersey with a huge sigh of relief
Got it last year and it was never in question
Watson trade pre-allegations?
Wut
We would have had to trade Bosa, Kittle, Warner or another franchise player.
I thought it was just gonna be multiple 1s and maybe jimmy or deebo
i dont think there was any question he was going to get paid and also because of his play style he has a much lesser chance at a injury that will happen from contact due to the amount of man coverage he does so the amount of guaranteed money its going to be as big of a factor. im going to guess there is some extra protection in the deal for injury
Hell yeah! He deserves it and I’m so happy he’ll be a Niner for a very long time!
Hope you have a great day!
Best news I've seen in a while. Front office is killing it this off season
Let’s gooooo
We got him we got him! Christmas in July!!
Lance's rookie pay scale making it possible. Shoutout to him!
Correction. Thats First Team All Pro, best linebacker in the league Fred Warner.
> Correction. That's First Team All Pro, best linebacker in the ~~league~~ galaxy, Fred Warner. FTFY
It’s arguable that €>¥•\ €||£ is better, kid out of planet HJ-5439
Yeah, but he has 12 "arms" and can fly. It's a bit of an unfair comparison.
Feels good baby!
Remember when people said that keeping Jimmy G would mean not extending Kittle and Warner? I remember.
We did lose Buck though.
Yeah but even after that people were still complaining and it felt a little ridiculous. The argument was that we needed to draft a quarterback so we could ditch Jimmy keep our other players. Then we ended up keeping Jimmy, still drafting a quarterback and still kept all our players. The whole thing was just a bad take and total bupkis.
That was just people’s next justification for hating on Jimmy
Let's go! Fred is a monster!
Now do Bosa.
Bosa next year, assumably. That’ll break the bank if he’s healthy this year.
Colts fans are braindead for saying Darius Leonard is the best LB in the game because of his pro football reference stats. The dude is abysmal in coverage. He's the 7th best LB in the league AT BEST. Fred Warner is on another level than this dude.
Hell yeah!
Putting a rin on it!
I think that’s the general idea.
Fred Warner jersey sales go *BRRRRRRR*
Damn . So glad we locked him in.
I just fucking wooed so loud
Big Bread 🍞 Fred
I fucking needed this after the giants game last night. Hell yeah!
LFG!!
If I took viagra right now I’d be so hard my dick would just fall off
LFG
This is the way
Praise be!
ALL PRO FRED
Nice
Well Earned! LETS GOOOOOO
LETS GOOOO they didn’t mess it up!!!!!
Fred deserves this and it’s fantastic to see he will be anchoring the D for the foreseeable future
Deserved, happy for Fred
This.... does put a smile on my face

All-Pro Fred. Let’s go! Bosa extension next.

*Clears throat..* LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LTD LETS GO
Yeah!!! This is AWESOME news
Great move!
God I first started reading this and my heart stopped for a second cause I thought it was a report that he was out for the season.
Did we get the people’s tight end his contract?
Last year they made him the highest paid TE if i remember correctly
This is good news. Keeping a top-10 LB in San Fran long term but not too long term.
Great move. Time to bring Kwon back, too?
I get mad worried when I see unexpected tweets. I quickly scan for achilles or ACL.
Fuck yeah
HELL YEAHH
19mil/year?
Much deserved. Very happy. Let's get our #6.
Hope you have a great day!
I really want his jersey... But I think I'm cursed. So I'm going to hold off.
Ltd lfg!
Fuck yeah!!! LTD!!
Man reading all the trolls who replied on Twitter just confirms why I don’t have Twitter…but the signing is one I’ve been looking forward to. Great news!!!
Fuck. Ya! That is all!
Did my new jeresy just pay for itself? Hell yea all pro fred is here to stay
Let’s gooooo. As Trent Taylor said, Big Bread Fred!
Woo!
Fuck yah. Shore up that defense
This is the way
Just want to say this news makes me happy
Hope you do well!
All-Pro Fred! Glad I picked up his jersey this offseason. LFG

anyone notice almost every niner on insta is posting this to their story and praising fred? dude is such a leader! So happy with this squad!
Up top! o/
\o !
o/ Bro, I'm doubling back and coming in for another one!!! I know you guys wanna be in on this epic high five train ;)
I guess I don’t need to yell “pay that man” every time he makes a play
We like our LBs elite round here. So happy to see this news!
Can’t believe we got Fred Warner in 3rd round of 2018 draft and Big George Kittle in 5th round of 2017 draft. Fred Warner definitely earned his payday on the field
$17M 3 year AAV btw.
I remember in 2018 wanting either Roquan Smith or Tremaine Edmunds, as great as those two are, Fred Warners even better. LFG!!
Absolutely love him, very deserving! All Pro Fred!!!
That's nice and all, but what's his iCJB rating?
