San Francisco 49ers Extend Kicker Eddy Piñeiro Through 2029 The San Francisco 49ers finalized a four-year contract extension with kicker Eddy Piñeiro on Saturday, securing his future with the team through the 2029 season. The deal, valued at $17 million with $10 million in guaranteed money, was confirmed by Piñeiro’s agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, who shared the details with ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The agreement ensures Piñeiro, who joined the 49ers in Week 2 of the 2025 season, remains under contract and avoids entering the open market during the early free agent window. General manager John Lynch emphasized retaining Piñeiro as a top priority during the NFL combine last month. Lynch praised Piñeiro’s performance, stating, “Eddy was obviously fantastic. I don’t know if a guy could have come in and done any better.” The 49ers have relied on Piñeiro for consistency at a position that struggled after Robbie Gould left following the 2022 season. Piñeiro became a key addition in 2025 after the team waived kicker Jake Moody following a poor performance in the season opener against Seattle. Piñeiro’s 2025 season was marked by exceptional accuracy, as he converted 28 of 29 field goals, including six kicks from 50 yards or more. His only miss came in a December game against Indianapolis, where a 64-yard attempt hit the crossbar and fell short. His 96.6% field goal conversion rate ranked as the second-best mark in franchise history for kickers with at least 25 attempts. Since 2000, Piñeiro’s 89.7% success rate stands third among all kickers with 50 or more attempts. The 49ers also re-signed long snapper Jon Weeks on Tuesday, leaving punter Thomas Morstead as the remaining specialist among their three specialists.#san_francisco_49ers #eddy_pieiro #drew_rosenhaus #robert_bailey #adam_schefter
