The San Francisco 49ers had some major news this week, as Deommodore Lenoir agreed to a five-year, $92 million extension with the team, locking him in the Bay Area through 2029.
Lenoir, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, had been one of the team’s top players all season long, and the 49ers rewarded him with a long-term contract, locking up one of their young, ascending stars before he hit free agency this offseason.
Lenoir’s extension furthers a youth movement from the team, as San Francisco has looked to move off some of their key older players and look towards their younger options for the future.
