49ers Lock Deommodore Lenoir into Five-Year, $92 Million Extension

The cornerback's journey from a rocky start to becoming a key player for San Francisco culminates in a lucrative contract.

Lenoir's NFL career began with a mishap when he posted a practice video leading to fines for the 49ers and coach Kyle Shanahan.
Despite early struggles, Lenoir has developed into a versatile cornerback excelling both inside and outside positions.
This season, he has achieved impressive stats with 53 tackles, 2 interceptions, and a passer rating of 66.5 when targeted.
His new contract makes him the 12th-highest paid cornerback in the league, securing his future with the 49ers.
With Lenoir's extension, the 49ers have addressed a key roster spot as other top cornerbacks near free agency.
