The 49ers have locked up their star linebacker for a long time.
49ers LB Navorro Bowman has agreed to a four-year extension worth $11 million, including $20M gtd, per source. Had three years left on deal.

Bowman is now set to be with the 49ers for the next seven years. With the way the NFL’s salary cap continues to grow, this could be a steal for 49ers in a couple of years. With 3 years left on his contract, it is extremely rare to get an extension like this.
So 49ers' LB Navorro Bowman gets 4-year, $44 million extension with 3 years left on his deal. This will get attention of teams and players.

This is the type of extension DeAndre Hopkins was hoping the Texans would have giving him after his 1-day holdout.
