The San Francisco 49ers have locked up Eric Reid through the 2017 season. The team picked up his option for 2017, which is guaranteed for injury.
The San Francisco 49ers have picked up the fifth-year option of safety Eric Reid. NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport tweeted the team did so over the weekend. The 49ers have not yet announced the decision. Concussion issues might have raised some questions, but given that Reid has been the starting free safety all three years, it is not a shock the team picked up the option.
The option covers Reid's 2017 season, with a base salary of $5,676,000.
