Eddy Pineiro, the 30-year-old kicker for the San Francisco 49ers, has signed a four-year contract extension worth up to $17 million, with $10 million guaranteed, after joining the team as a free agent. His impressive performance, hitting 28 of 29 field goals, helped stabilize a position plagued by inconsistency since Robbie Gould’s retirement. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch prioritized retaining Pineiro, whose success rate was the best in the NFL. The 49ers now focus on securing punter Thomas Morstead, also a pending free agent.
