Roquan Smith has two years remaining on his contract, but could be looking for a new deal after one of his peers reset the market. San Francisco linebacker Fred Warner agreed to a 3-year, $63 million extension with the Niners, making him the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.
The deal ties Warner to the team through the 2029 season. The reworked deal also returns Warner to the top of the list of highest-paid off-ball linebackers in the league at $21 million per season and adds $56 million in guaranteed money to a deal that no longer had any, the sources told Schefter.
