Congrats!
The San Francisco 49ers and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir have reached a five-year, $92 million extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.
Lenoir, 25, is in the final year of the rookie deal he signed after being the 172nd pick (fifth round) in the 2021 NFL draft. He was poised to be an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Lenoir, who has excelled in both the slot and the outside, has 53 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1 forced fumble this season. He also scooped up a fumble on a blocked field goal vs. the Arizona Cardinals and returned it 61 yards for his first career touchdown.
He has allowed 35 catches on 56 targets this season with a 65 passer rating on throws into his coverage, according to Pro Football Focus.
In 2023, Lenoir played 311 snaps in the slot and 570 at outside corner, allowing a minus-4.7 EPA, 80.1 passer rating and just one touchdown when targeted, while posting three interceptions and 10 passes defended.
