"Pineiro, 30, stabilized the 49ers' kicking game after inconsistency from 2023 third-round pick Jake Moody, who Friday agreed to re-sign with the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal. Of the 29 field goals that Pineiro attempted last season, he made all except a 64-yard attempt that hit the crossbar in Indianapolis as the first-half expired in the 49ers' victorious December visit."
"He otherwise made all six other attempts beyond 50 yards, including a 59-yarder (Week 5, at Los Angeles Rams) that was the second-longest in 49ers history. Pineiro did miss four of 38 point-after attempts, but he became a team-wide favorite early in his tenure, which included a walk-off winning field goal in the home opener against Arizona."
"Pineiro has agreed to a four-year, $17 million deal, a league source confirmed. That deal keeps him off the free agent market, which is where the 49ers found him in Week 2 last season."
Eddy Pineiro has agreed to a four-year, $17 million deal with the 49ers, securing $10 million guaranteed and keeping him off the free agent market. The 30-year-old kicker was signed mid-season last year and provided stability after inconsistency from third-round pick Jake Moody, who departed for the Washington Commanders. Pineiro made 28 of 29 field goal attempts, including six of seven attempts beyond 50 yards, with a 59-yard make ranking second in franchise history. He also kicked a walk-off winning field goal in the home opener against Arizona. Though he missed four of 38extra-point attempts, Pineiro became a team favorite. The contract keeps him with San Francisco as the team addresses 19 unrestricted free agents.
