The San Francisco 49ers lost plenty of talent in free agency, but they have spent the second half of the offseason rewarding some of their best players. First, tight end George Kittle received a four-year, $76.4 million extension, then quarterback Brock Purdy got his long-awaited deal in the form of a five-year, $265 million contract.

Now, linebacker Fred Warner has cashed in.

According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, Warner has reached an agreement with the 49ers on a three-year, $63 million extension that makes him the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the NFL. The deal includes a whopping $56.7 million in guaranteed money.

    I’ll always remember that game a year ago in which Warner almost single handily dismantled the Vikings. Guy is all time great LB, you gotta keep him around.
