Former BYU linebacker Fred Warner signs four-year rookie contract with San Francisco 49ers

Fred Warner made it official Wednesday, signing his four-year rookie contract with the San Francisco 49ers.

The former BYU linebacker was selected 70th overall by the 49ers in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft and is the last of the five players with Utah ties drafted this year to sign his rookie deal.

Warner’s contract is worth $2.46 million in base salary over four years, including $480,000 in 2018, according to Over the Cap.

“This whole experience is surreal even still, to be able to sign a contract and be able to provide for my family,” Warner said during press availability Wednesday in a video shared by the team.
