49ers Rumors: Robbie Gould Agrees to Long-Term Contract Before Deadline
The standoff between Robbie Gould and the San Francisco 49ers is over, as the two sides reportedly agreed to a long-term contract Monday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the agreement, which comes just before the deadline for franchised players to agree on a contract. Had Gould and the 49ers not come to terms Monday, he would have been forced to play the 2019 season on the franchise tag.
Gould, 36, requested a trade from San Francisco in April after the team pursued Stephen Gostkowski this offseason.
"The bottom line is, I'm unsure if I want to play there anymore," Gould told Schefter then. "At this point, I have to do what's best for me and my family back home."
