DeForest Buckner is set to hit free agency following the 2020 season, and the 49ers are apparently motivated to sign him to a long-term deal. Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com writes that the organization is “pushing to try to make” an extension a “reality.”
The 2016 first-round pick has emerged as one of the 49ers top players, as he’s collected 19.5 sacks over the past two seasons. He got a Pro Bowl nod following his breakout 2018 campaign, and he earned first-team All-Pro recognition following the 2019 season.
Last April, the organization exercised the fifth-year option on the defensive tackle. He’ll earn a $14.36MM base salary in 2020 before hitting free agency next spring.
While the 49ers may be working on an extension for Buckner, the front office will also have to switch focus to their current free agents. Earlier today, wideout Emmanuel Sanders revealed that his camp hasn’t had any discussions with the 49ers regarding a new contract (Twitter link).
Please stop writing about non stories. It is starting to get real old. Really starting to think about deleting this app from my phone.
Yeah, gotta somewhat agree. Unless there is legitimate numbers being thrown around etc, no thanks. Happening in the other sections more frequently as well.
Delete it then bro
If you ask nicely, I’m sure they’ll give you a refund
Oh no, please, don’t go! How will Profootballrumors ever get on without Skute23???
You do understand it’s a rumors site right?
It’s someone’s job to populate this app with content, and if they want to get paid, doing so isn’t optional. You however have the option of not reading it and/or turning off notifications.
Wow!! I guess I was wrong. I guess people love reading about talk about nothing. Enjoy wasting your time!
You do know you don’t have to read all the articles right? You can easily skip the articles you’re not interested in…but I guess that just makes too much sense. I’m sure they’ll be devastated without your input on what they should or shouldn’t write about.
It’s the time of the year when no actual signings or draft picks happen, and we end up with a few weeks of baseless rumors and media talking points. Yet, we still have people who do not understand what this website is. It’s literally in the name. RUMORS. It doesn’t say “transaction news”. The writers here are also compiling information from around the internet and summarizing it nicely so we don’t have to spend all day scouring dozens of sources. This site doesn’t pay reporters and their original content is obvious and analytical in nature. If you don’t like rumors, I do not understand why you are on a rumor based website…
