49ers extend RT McKivitz with 3-year, $45M deal

"The Niners and right tackle Colton McKivitz came to terms on a three-year, $45 million contract that includes $27 million guaranteed on Monday morning, agents Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal will keep McKivitz in San Francisco through the 2028 season. McKivitz's deal comes less than a week after he indicated that both he and the team wanted to work something out to keep him around for the long haul but he said he wasn't sure anything was necessarily close."

""I think it's pretty open right now," McKivitz said last Wednesday. "Nothing crazy is going on but both sides have said that we want to be here, which I do. I love playing here. I love being a part of this team and they've reciprocated that. So, when it does come, I'd be excited for it but we'll see." As it turned out, a deal for McKivitz came sooner than later, bringing with it a sizable raise"

The San Francisco 49ers signed right tackle Colton McKivitz to a three-year, $45 million contract with $27 million guaranteed, keeping him through the 2028 season. McKivitz and the team had both expressed a mutual desire to reach a long-term deal, though he earlier said nothing appeared close. The new contract represents a sizable raise from the one-year, $7 million extension he signed in March 2024. McKivitz might have commanded more in free agency, highlighted by former backup Jaylon Moore signing a $15 million-per-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs in March.
