The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced the signing of kicker Eddy Piñeiro to a four-year contract. News of the move was first reported on March 7.

The 49ers Communications staff provided the following rundown.



Piñeiro (5-11, 190) originally entered the NFL after signing with the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent on May 4, 2018. Throughout his six-year career with the Chicago Bears (2019-20), New York Jets (2021), Carolina Panthers (2022-24), and 49ers (2025), he has appeared in 84 games where he connected on 139 of his 155 field goal attempts (89.7 percent) and 150 of his 163 extra point attempts (92.0 percent). His career field goal percentage (89.7 percent) ranks second in NFL history among qualifying kickers (100 field goals made).

In 2025, Piñeiro signed with the 49ers as a free agent and went on to appear in 14 games, where he connected on 28 of his 29 field goal attempts (96.6 percent) and 34 of his 38 extra point attempts (89.5 percent). His 96.6 field goal percentage marked the second-highest single-season field goal percentage in franchise history. Piñeiro connected on each of his first 25 field goal attempts with the team, the most consecutive field goals made by a kicker to begin their first season with the 49ers. He also appeared in two postseason contests, connecting on all three of his field goal attempts (100.0 percent) and on two of his three extra-point attempts (66.7 percent).

A 30-year-old native of Miami, FL, Piñeiro attended the University of Florida for two years (2016-17), where he appeared in 24 games and connected on 38 of his 43 field-goal attempts (88.4 percent) and 56 of his 58 extra-point attempts (96.6 percent).
