The 49ers have signed offensive lineman Garry Gilliam to a two-year extension worth $8MM, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). The deal includes nearly $4M guaranteed. 
Gilliam went from the Seahawks to the Niners last April when Seattle declined to match his offer sheet. After earning $2.2MM last season, the 27-year-old is receiving yet another pay bump.
Gilliam’s payday is the latest indicator that there is a serious dearth of offensive tackle talent in the NFL. He had just 38 total snaps for the Niners last season and landed on season-ending IR in late October. Before that, he earned poor grades in all three of his seasons with the Seahawks. Gilliam is not what you would call a quality starting option, but the Niners are flush with cash and apparently do not see lots of talent on the horizon in March or in April’s draft.
Wasn’t a big fan of Gilliam but whatever helps us not have to reach for OLinemen in the draft. Let’s stock up those premium Positions
He barely even played last year and he’s going to back up Trent Brown and Staley anyway
Unreal. You can do little to nothing and make 8 million bucks. Sign me up. Common Lynch.
It’s a nice addition to the reserves Incase someone gets hurt. Now let’s sign one of the better free agent lineman, sign a top CB use that draft pick on a LB or DL.
