The San Francisco 49ers have a host of decisions to make this offseason, with one of the more notable being whether or not to push for a contract extension with DeForest Buckner. The 2016 first round pick is eligible for a contract extension this offseason for the first time, although the team is likely to exercise his fifth year option and work from there.
Buckner and defensive lineman Ronald Blair, a fifth round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft are both eligible for contract extensions this offseason due to the current CBA. To prevent early career hold-outs, it requires drafted players wait three full seasons before they can negotiate a new contract.
