The 49ers announced Friday morning they have signed guard Laken Tomlinson to a three-year contract extension through 2021.
Here’s a statement about Tomlinson from 49ers general manager John Lynch: “Laken is a very talented player who has improved consistently since joining the team one week before last year’s season opener. This offseason, his hard work and dedication paid off as he continued to progress and performed at a high level. We were confident we could work out a contract extension with Laken and we are fired up to get that done before training camp.”
This extension surprises me.
