49ers Secure Deommodore Lenoir with 5-Year, $92 Million Contract

The extension ensures the cornerback remains a key part of San Francisco's defense through 2029, avoiding free agency competition.

Deommodore Lenoir, drafted in the fifth round in 2021, has become a cornerstone of the 49ers' defense.
The 25-year-old cornerback has excelled in both slot and outside positions, allowing a 65 passer rating this season.
Lenoir's new contract ranks him 12th among NFL cornerbacks in average annual salary, highlighting his value to the team.
With Charvarius Ward also nearing free agency, retaining Lenoir was a strategic move to secure the 49ers' secondary.
The 49ers' financial flexibility is partly due to quarterback Brock Purdy's current low-cost rookie contract.
