The 49ers announced they have signed center Daniel Kilgore to a three-year contract extension. The new deal will take him through the 2020 season.

Initially, it appeared that Kilgore would be riding the pine in San Francisco for the 2017 season. However, the Niners waived Jeremy Zuttah over the summer and Kilgore beat out free agent pickup Tim Barnes, allowing him to start all 16 games in the middle. The advanced metrics weren’t big on the 30-year-old (he ranked as just the 23rd-best center in the league, per Pro Football Focus), but the Niners were very high on his work.
Financial details of Kilgore’s deal are not yet known. If Kilgore’s contract is somewhere in the middle of the league’s centers, he could see an average annual value of around $4MM. Ben Jones is the 14th highest paid center in the NFL based on AAV and he earns $4.375MM/season on the four-year deal he signed with the Titans in 2016.
I personally love it. He and Jimmy G really seemed to click so it’s wise to keep the together and if a better center comes up after this next season the good thing about football is you can release the guy or if he isn’t costing a lot he can serve as a backup. Curious to see how Garnett does next season, really hope the 9ers don’t count on big things from Garnett and go get some more lineman and if Garnett does good then that’s just a plus because our line wasn’t good at all really.
I’ve always been okay with his work. centers are hard to come by nowadays anyways
Still need a top level guard
Agree
I’d say 2 guards
