The San Francisco 49ers and tight end Jake Tonges have reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension worth $8 million, according to agent Steve Caric via Adam Schefter of ESPN. The deal includes $5.5 million in guaranteed money for the veteran tight end.
The agreement was finalized just ahead of the restricted free agent tender deadline, allowing the 49ers to secure Tonges through the next two seasons while avoiding the standard RFA process. By committing to the multi-year deal now, San Francisco ensures stability in their tight end room behind their primary starters.
Tonges has carved out a role as a reliable depth piece and contributor on special teams. The $5.5 million guarantee represents a significant commitment from the organization, signaling their confidence in his continued development and value to the roster's overall structure. The move comes as NFL teams across the league scramble to finalize roster decisions before the start of the new league year.
