Two words: Paraag Marathe.
The San Francisco 49ers executive spent his weekend working on Robbie Gould’s long-term deal with Gould’s agent, Brian Mackler. The 49ers and Gould have been far apart on a deal for months and over the weekend, picked up the pace to get things done. Adam Schefter broke the news and he followed things up with some details on ESPN concerning Gould’s option.
Per Schefter, the option to extend Gould’s two-year deal to four lies on the 49ers’ shoulders. The deadline to exercise it is on Week 17 (the 49ers final game) of the 2020 season.
