The San Francisco 49ers are re-signing Pro Bowl special teamer Luke Gifford to a two-year contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and The Insiders.
The agreement is worth $5.3 million over the next two seasons. The deal was negotiated by LIFT Sports Management. Gifford has established himself as a vital component of the 49ers' roster, specifically within the third phase of the game, where his performance recently earned him Pro Bowl honors.
By securing Gifford through the next two years, the 49ers maintain continuity in their special teams unit. The veteran linebacker has become a reliable presence for the coaching staff since joining the team, providing both leadership and high-level production on coverage units. This move ensures that one of the league's top special teams contributors remains in San Francisco as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
Gifford, 28, previously spent time with the Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans before finding a significant role in the 49ers' system. His return marks a key depth signing for a franchise looking to keep its core special teams group intact.
