Fred Warner Commends 49ers for 'Seamless' Contract Signing

Fred Warner, George Kittle, and Brock Purdy could very well play their entire NFL careers with the one team ... and they would not be upset about that.

The San Francisco 49ers' offseason may have gotten off to a slow start in free agency, but it ramped up with back-to-back-back major re-signings for these three franchise players.

Longtime linebacker Warner is issuing praises to the 49ers front office for getting the deals done early before training camp and the season arrives.

“I’m so grateful to everyone involved, including the whole York family, John Lynch, Kyle Shanahan,” Warner said, via 49ers.com. “It was pretty seamless, and I’m happy for George Kittle and Brock Purdy to get their stuff done, too.”

Warner, 28, signed a three-year, $63 million deal to keep him in the Bay Area after already spending seven years with the franchise. The contract makes him the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.

Kittle, 31, agreed to terms on a four-year, $76 million contract - the largest of any tight end in the NFL. He is entering his ninth year with the organization.

Purdy, 25, solidified his QB1 status for the future with a five-year, $265 million deal - the largest in 49ers franchise history. This may just be Purdy's fourth year in San Francisco, but he is already the unquestioned captain of the locker room.

For Warner specifically, he is already fantasizing about the prospect of being a lifelong 49er.

“It honestly does mean the world,” Warner said. “When I got drafted here in 2018, it was truly a dream come true. It was the exact spot I wanted to be at because I knew they had a vision for me as a younger player who had never even played stack, off-the-ball linebacker...

"Being able to fulfill my dream of being an NFL player, of being a 49er, I truly feel that same exact way. Signing this deal, it still is a dream to me.”

Now that the 49ers have locked down their nucleus of stars, it is time to return to contention and hope to recapture what could be the trio's second NFC championship together.
