Howard Balzer of FOX Sports Midwest is reporting that linebacker Michael Wilhoite has signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the San Francisco 49ers. The tender will pay him $660,000.
In early March, there were reports that the 49ers were shopping Wilhoite to see if there was any trade potential for the linebacker. Of course, this was prior to the retirements of linebackers Patrick Willis and Chris Borland.
In 2014, Wilhoite started all 16 games while linebackers Navorro Bowman and Willis missed time due to injuries.
49ers general manager Trent Baalke has stated that the team is working to get Wilhoite a new deal. "He's kind of in a unique situation. He was kind of caught in a numbers deal," said Baalke.

Raheem Mostert joined KNBR on Wednesday morning for a lengthy interview on the Murph & Mac show. The San Francisco 49ers running back knows that losing on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals was a disappointment, but he and his teammates aren't dwelling on it.
"For me, personally, I think that game just kind of woke the beast up a little bit as far as where we want to go," Mostert said. "We've just got to take care of business this weekend, and handle what we can control, and go out there and try to get another win."

Trent Williams received a video from his head coach on Sunday after the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Arizona Cardinals. It was the block he had on linebacker Jordan Hicks during the game.
"Wow, it's good to have you back," Kyle Shanahan said in the message that included the highlight.
That block went viral on Sunday, and rightfully so. Williams absolutely obliterated the defender on the play, which featured tight end George Kittle on an end-around run.
Here's some cleaner video of that viral clip of Trent Williams killing a man in broad daylight.
