The Cardinals could face Warner another another eight times.<\/p>\n
The San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, one of the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>‘ NFC West rivals, are at it again. Days after they gave quarterback Brock Purdy a massive contract extension, they have given an extension to one of their key starters.<\/p>\n This time it is linebacker Fred Warner.<\/p>\n Warner and the Niners agreed to a three-year contract extension<\/a> worth $63 million that includes $56 million in guarantees.<\/p>\n Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a>, it is the second time in his seven-year career that he has been made the highest-paid linebacker in the NFL.<\/p>\n Warner is the centerpiece of the Niners’ defense. He has been a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro four times, including the last three years. He has missed one game in his career.<\/p>\n Last season, he had 131 total tackles, five tackles for loss, a sack, two quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions, one he returned for a touchdown.<\/p>\n He had two years remaining on the five-year extension he got in 2021 and is now under contract through 2029.<\/p>\n Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire’s Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
