He currently ranks fifth in the league in total points scored. For a team that has too often flirted with disaster at the kicker position, Pineiro must feel like a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he and the team had given any thought about signing Pineiero to a contract extension, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was noncommittal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d Shanahan said about extending Pineiro on November 3. \u201cI wish we could get a deal for all of our guys going forward, but that\u2019s not something that I\u2019ve discussed with anybody yet. But, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s stuff they will be discussing into this offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Why Eddy Pineiro Is Making a Strong Case for the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan to Re-Sign Him<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5541598\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2238505188-e1760020423108.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" alt=\"49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan Addresses Eddy Pineiro\u2019s Future\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5541598\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5541598\">Getty49ers coach Kyle Shanahan commented on whether or not San Francisco has discussed signing kicker Eddy Pineiro to a contract extension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The veteran kicker arrived in San Francisco as an already established history of accuracy \u2014 he\u2019s made 88.1% of his career field goal attempts \u2014 which places him among the most accurate kickers in modern NFL history for those with at least 100 attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Pineiro began his NFL career with the Raiders in 2018 as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Florida, though he spent his rookie season on injured reserve. He spent time with the Bears in 2019, where he made a strong debut by converting 82.1% of his field goals. After injuries limited him in 2020, Pineiro had brief stints with the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders before landing with the Carolina Panthers, where he kicked from 2022-2024.<\/p>\n<p>Now, he\u2019s giving the Niners their most consistent stretch of kicking since Robbie Gould was at his peak. In fact, he\u2019s fresh from breaking Gould\u2019s mark of 15 consecutive field goals.<\/p>\n<p>Contrast that with the Jake Moody experiment, which ended with a dull thud. Moody went just 16-for-29 from beyond 40 yards and missed two critical kicks in Week 1 this season \u2014 one of them a chip shot that led to the Niners cutting him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What Might a Pineiro Extension Cost the Niners?<\/h2>\n<p>Financially, keeping him wouldn\u2019t break the bank and would be worth the money, particularly if he continues to earn the nickname \u201cEddy Dinero.\u201d So, what might an extension cost San Francisco? Harrison Butker of the Chiefs earns around $6.4 million per year (nearly $18 million guaranteed) and is the highest-paid kicker in the league. The reliable veterans in the next tier \u2014 Daniel Carlson, Jason Sanders \u2014 pull roughly $4.6 to $4.4 million annually.<\/p>\n<p>Pineiro should probably land somewhere in between. Cam Dicker of the Chargers makes $5.5 million per year. Pineiro probably deserves something in that ball park.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Pineiro couldn\u2019t be happier he chose the Niners over the Falcons in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was supposed to leave to Atlanta yesterday until I got the call to come over here, and I took the opportunity and didn\u2019t look back,\u201d Pineiro said in September, via NBC Sports Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to win games. I want to be a part of a good culture and in my eighth year of my career, I want to win. \u2026 I just wanted the right opportunity, and thank God this opportunity came up and this is what I wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All that\u2019s left now is for GM John Lynch to lock him down long-term.<\/p>\n<p>Beth Mishler-Elmore Beth Mishler-Elmore is a Heavy sports contributor based in the Midwest, focusing on the NFL, NBA and WNBA.
