Source: 49ers agree to contract extension with Lee

Good move. Another thank you to the Steelers for negotiating a great contract with him six-odd years ago.

 

[CalamityX11]

He's our Franchise Punter....

easy decision here.

lol

This just keeps feelin more and more like the DeBartolo Days all over again! The young Squire is showing a lot of people he is up for the task of running a football team. Way to go Jed!

Oh dang I didnt see this thread and started one my fault fellas. I agree Lee is a beast and should stay for long term

 

[JMedlock5186]

Also I must say that I think that alot of our success last year was that special teams.. They kept that in tact with the exception of blake costanzo and the Defense is all intact. We added playmakers on Offense. In Harbaalke we trust

I'm interested in seeing the amount.

We were kind of spoiled the last few years for the amount we were paying Lee.

I expect Lee's 6 year extension will make him the highest paid punter in the league - he has more than earned it.

Trent Baalke:

"Andy has established himself as one of the top players in the game at his position. As we stated earlier this year, it is our objective to keep the core of this team together long term, and this is just another step in that direction."

Another great move. These next 6 years will hopefully be his prime years.

 

[Arete Tzu]

great move, I've never liked a punter as much as lee, he was our mvp in some of our worst years.

 

[luckyluke22]

Well deserved. I just wonder if he'll average $4 mil each yr of the new contract. Maybe a home team discount for higher guaranteed money?

But we won't get to see Rich Eisen going nuts after a punter's name is called in the 3rd round.

???

cause we might've drafted one as high as the 3rd?

if he left as a free agent, we would've potentially received a 3rd rounder in compensation?

you're just being sarcastic and i can't catch it? :-(

"Punter Andy Lee's six-year extension with 49ers is worth $20.5 million with $7.1M coming in first two years."

Some team picked a punter in the 3rd round this year, which was very rare or a record. So the poster was saying that we don't have to do that to find our Franchise Punter.
