Overview
- McKivitz told reporters Sunday that his goal is to remain a 49er long enough to be placed on the franchise’s 10-year wall.
- He signed a three-year, $45 million extension in September 2025 that runs through the 2028 season and includes guaranteed money for 2026 and some 2027 guarantees.
- McKivitz became the 49ers’ full-time starting right tackle in 2023 after Mike McGlinchey left and has started every game since then, including seven playoff games and Super Bowl LVIII.
- Analysts cite steady improvement from McKivitz, with Pro Football Focus ranking him among the top qualifying tackles in 2025, and his durability strengthens his case for another long-term deal.
- If San Francisco is to keep him for a decade, the team would need to negotiate a third contract before his current deal expires, a move that would shape both his personal legacy and the 49ers’ offensive-line continuity.
