Overview

  • The agreement, confirmed by agents Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy, keeps McKivitz under contract through 2028 and was reached Monday, one day after the season-opening win in Seattle.
  • The contract averages $15 million per year with $27 million guaranteed, placing him around 13th–14th among right tackles by average annual value, according to market trackers.
  • Detailed terms reported by Pro Football Talk include a $6.8 million signing bonus, option bonuses in 2026–2028, and per-game roster bonuses, with $25 million fully guaranteed by April 1, 2026.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan had identified McKivitz as a retention priority, and the extension secures the 49ers' tackle tandem with Trent Williams while keeping McKivitz from free agency in 2026.
  • Performance metrics reflect growth: after allowing nine sacks and 59 pressures in 2023, he allowed two sacks and 36 pressures in 2024 per PFF, and he has not missed a start since becoming a full-time starter in 2023.
