The San Francisco 49ers’ offensive line did a decent job protecting Brock Purdy in 2023, allowing the 7th-fewest hurries, the 13th-fewest hits, the 5th-fewest pressures, the 14th-lowest pressure percentage, and the 7th-fewest sacks.
San Francisco addressed the offensive line by re-signing their right tackle to a contract extension.
The San Francisco 49ers re-signed their right tackle
According to AMDG Sports, San Francisco signed Colton McKivitz to a 1-year, $7 million contract extension, making him under contract through the 2025 season.
Colton McKivitz was drafted in 2020
San Franciso drafted McKivitz in the 5th round, 153rd overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. McKivitz appeared in 14 games and started three in 2020. He had zero penalties, one sack allowed, and a 53.1 PFF Grade.
San Francisco released McKivitz in 2021 but re-signed to their practice squad and was promoted to the active roster on November 10. He started one game with zero penalties, two sacks allowed, and a 55.5 PFF Grade.
McKivitz signed a 1-year, $895,000 contract on March 10, 2022. McKivitz appeared in 13 games and started one in 2022. He had zero penalties, zero sacks allowed, and a 69.3 PFF Grade. He missed four games because of a high ankle sprain.
McKivitz signed a 2-year, $4,610,000 contract extension on March 9, 2023. McKivitz started every game in 2023. He had two penalties, nine sacks allowed, and a 65.1 PFF Grade in the regular season. He also had zero penalties, zero sacks allowed, and a 63.1 PFF Grade in the postseason.
This extension shouldn’t affect San Francisco’s offseason plans
Re-signing McKivitz should not affect San Francisco’s offseason plans because he signed a team-friendly deal. San Francisco will likely sign an offensive lineman in free agency or through the draft and compete with McKivitz for a starting job next season.
