The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have locked in their placekicker for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Eddy Pi\u00f1eiro and the 49ers have agreed on a four-year, $17 million contract extension, his agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey told ESPN Senior NFL insider Adam Schefter.<\/p>\n

His contract includes a guaranteed $10 million, the agents told ESPN.<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1eiro was set to become a free agent this week.<\/p>\n

In his last game, Pi\u00f1eiro scored the only points for San Francisco in their 41-6 blowout loss in the NFC Divisional Round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks<\/a>. He went 2-for-2, connecting on 40- and 56-yard field-goals.<\/p>\n

What to know about Eddy Pi\u00f1eiro<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1eiro is 30 years old. He signed with the Oakland Raiders<\/a> as an undrafted free agent out of Florida in 2018, though he didn’t play for them because of injury.<\/p>\n

Pi\u00f1eiro was traded to the Chicago Bears<\/a> and has also played for New York Jets and Carolina Panthers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He joined the 49ers on a one-year deal in September 2025. That season, Pi\u00f1eiro finished 28-for-29 on field goals and tied Nick Folk for best field goal percentage in the NFL at 96.6%. His only miss of the season was a 64-yard field goal attempt against the Colts<\/a> that was just a few feet short, hitting the crossbar of the uprights.<\/p>\n

His kicking accuracy surely will help the 49ers in the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The last time San Francisco had a placekicker this accurate was Robbie Gould from 2017 to 2022, which included a Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n
