Tomlinson agreed to a three-year contract extension Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
The 49ers declined the fifth-year team option on Tomlinson's contract in early May, but that doesn't mean they don't view him as a starting offensive lineman -- evidenced by this very extension. They just don't view him at the $9.6 million price tag Tomlinson otherwise would have been owed. Regardless, the 2015 first-rounder is now set to stick around in San Francisco through the 2021 campaign.
The 49ers will not exercise the fifth-year team option on Tomlinson's contract, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 49ers still view Tomlinson as a starting-caliber lineman, but not one who deserves the $9.6 million price tag the team option would've given him. Instead, general manager John Lynch said the team and Tomlinson's agents are currently in the process of working out a long-term deal.
