Overview
- Piñeiro agreed to a four-year, $17 million deal with $10 million guaranteed, his agents said, keeping him off the market before the negotiating window opens.
- Signed ahead of Week 2 in 2025, he went 28-for-29 on field goals (96.6%) with six makes from 50-plus yards and a lone 64-yard miss off the crossbar, then went 3-for-3 in the playoffs including a 56-yarder.
- General manager John Lynch had identified retaining Piñeiro as a top offseason priority after the kicker’s immediate impact last season.
- The contract ranks 13th among kickers by average annual value, per ESPN/AP, even as Piñeiro’s career 89.7% field-goal rate places him among the most accurate in NFL history.
- San Francisco has re-signed long snapper Jon Weeks, and punter Thomas Morstead remains unsigned as the team finalizes its specialist group.
