The new deal keeps Staley with the team through the 2021 season and ensures he achieves the goal he set when drafted in the first round by San Francisco 12 years ago.
"[Having] played with one franchise my whole career is something special to me," Staley said Thursday during a KNBR interview. "It's what I set out to do when I was a rookie back in 2007. It's part of my identity, the San Francisco 49ers organization, the people here, the fabric of me. It's what motivates me to get out every single day on the field and keep working to try to bring a championship back to the Bay Area."
Staley will be 35 years old when the 2019 season, his 13th in the NFL, kicks off. He is a six-time Pro Bowl selection.
Update: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provided some more details on the contract extension with the numbers slightly differing from what Yates reported. Rapoport states that Staley will earn $10.55 million in base salary in 2020 and $11.3 million in 2021 with $700,000 in bonuses each year.
The 49ers also redid Staley's 2019 salary as part of the extension. If he plays 16 games, he will earn $13.5 million for the upcoming season.
