SIGN UP HERE Warner's reported $63-million agreement makes him the league's highest-paid linebacker, which he now has accomplished twice in his NFL career after signing to a then-record five-year, $95 million deal in 2021.
The 28-year-old is a four-time Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro selection, and has not missed a single game in seven seasons with San Francisco.
His lucrative extension comes just days after the 49ers reportedly agreed to a massive five-year, $265 million contract with quarterback Brock Purdy and almost one month after tight end George Kittle signed a four-year, $76.4 million extension.
