The 49ers and CB Deommodore Lenoir, who has two of his six career interceptions this season, have reached a five-year, $92 million extension, a source told ESPN.
Nick Wagoner is an NFL reporter at ESPN. Nick has covered the San Francisco 49ers and the NFL at ESPN since 2016, having previously covered the St. Louis Rams for 12 years, including three years at ESPN.
As it turned out, it only took nine more games for that to happen as Lenoir and the 49ers reached agreement on a five-year, $92 million contract extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday. He has done all of that despite bouncing between outside corner and playing in the slot when the Niners go into nickel packages. It's a double duty he began taking on toward the end of the 2022 season and fully embraced last year when he played 570 snaps at outside corner and 311 in the slot, allowing a minus-4.7 EPA , 80.1 passer rating and just one touchdown when targeted.
When asked about the possibility of signing an extension before he would hit free agency, Lenoir didn't dismiss the idea but made it clear he wanted to prove he deserved to be paid among the top corners in the league.
