San Francisco 49ers tackle Joe Staley will potentially earn $36.15 million over the next three seasons, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
In addition to the $8.55 million (not including a $2.2 million prorated bonus) Staley is set to earn in 2019, the veteran offensive lineman will earn $27.6 million over the course of the two-year contract extension he signed on Monday and the 49ers announced on Wednesday.
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.

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

49ers' Brock Purdy focused on 2024, not contract 'nonsense'
During the NFL owners' meetings, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York noted the significant rise in quarterback salaries in recent years. However, he acknowledged the market value of such players, recognizing that he'll have to sign a substantial check for his young quarterback, Brock Purdy, next year.
York stated, "And to me, the quarterback is the most important position, not just in football, but in all sports, and those guys should be paid a lot."
Last week, Brock Purdy addressed York's comments, showing no concern about the financial implications that will arise next year. Instead, he
Brock Purdy weighs in on Brandon Aiyuk, 49ers contract talks
Brock Purdy set a San Francisco 49ers single-season record in 2023, throwing for 4,280 passing yards. Many of those yards came on passes to his top target, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who amassed a team-leading and career-high 1,342 receiving yards.
Purdy and Aiyuk have developed great chemistry on the football field, and the quarterback would like to build upon that for years to come. However, that is out of his control, and Aiyuk's future is in the hands of the front office.
