49ers LB Fred Warner Extended Through 2029, Suffered Season-Ending Ankle Injury in 2025

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, a 2018 third-round pick, was extended in the 2025 offseason for three years, $63 million ($56.7 million guaranteed), securing him through 2029. Known as the team's defensive quarterback, Warner was on a Defensive Player of the Year trajectory in 2025, recording 51 tackles, 2 TFL, 3 PD, 1 FF, and 1 FR through six games. However, his season ended prematurely in Week 6 due to a dislocated ankle, which significantly impacted the 49ers' defense.
