Colt McKivitz secured a three-year, $45 million extension through 2028, with $27 million guaranteed, locking San Francisco’s right tackle opposite Trent Williams. The deal adds stability to a line that improved in 2024 after a rough 2023 run and pass-blocking season, and it cushions Purdy’s protection as SF pursues another title run. Williams remains the blueprint on the left, while McKivitz’s growth matters for SF’s run game and play-action efficiency.

The extension arrives amid ongoing chatter about upgrades on the right side and a broader roster plan that includes Jauan Jennings’ contract talks, illustrating SF’s strategy: commit to their core OL, lean on Williams and Purdy, and avoid wholesale upgrades at a premium. KC’s edge presence—Jones and Karlaftis—serves as a reminder of the challenges SF faces in pass protection and the fantasy implications of stabilized lines.
