BREAKING: 49ers Star Rejects $100 Million Offers From Seahawks and Buccaneers, Vows Super Bowl Glory in San Francisco

San Francisco 49ers fans have reason to celebrate today as one of the franchise’s brightest stars has turned down massive free-agency offers — including a staggering $100 million deal — to remain in the Bay Area. The move sends a powerful message to the NFL: this player is all-in on bringing another Lombardi Trophy back to San Francisco.

According to multiple league sources, the 49ers’ dynamic playmaker received blockbuster contract offers from both the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Each offer reportedly exceeded nine figures and included significant signing bonuses, guaranteed money, and performance incentives. The Seahawks’ proposal was said to be the most lucrative, potentially making him one of the highest-paid players at his position in NFL history.

But in a bold and emotional decision, the 49ers star — whose leadership has become a cornerstone of the team’s recent success — chose loyalty over money.

“This isn’t about the biggest paycheck,” he said during a press conference at Levi’s Stadium. “It’s about finishing what we started. San Francisco drafted me, believed in me, and gave me the chance to live out my dream. Now it’s my turn to give everything I have to bring a Super Bowl back to this city.”

A Statement of Loyalty

This decision comes at a pivotal moment for the 49ers. After falling just short in last year’s NFC Championship Game, the team has been laser-focused on returning to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have built one of the league’s most balanced rosters, led by quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle, and the star running back Christian McCaffrey.

Losing a key figure to a division rival like Seattle would have been a devastating blow. The Seahawks were reportedly prepared to reshape their offensive scheme around him, while the Buccaneers, still seeking to regain their Super Bowl form after Tom Brady’s retirement, viewed him as the centerpiece of their rebuild.

Instead, his decision to stay provides a massive boost to the 49ers’ morale heading into the season.

“This is bigger than football,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the announcement. “When a player of his caliber decides to stay because he believes in the team, the culture, and the mission, it sets the tone for everyone in the locker room.”

The Numbers Behind the Offers

While exact figures have not been disclosed, sources close to the negotiations revealed that the Seahawks’ deal was a five-year, $105 million package, with $70 million guaranteed. The Buccaneers reportedly offered four years and $95 million, including a $25 million signing bonus.

By comparison, the 49ers’ contract extension is significantly smaller — roughly four years at $72 million, with $40 million guaranteed. That means he effectively left nearly $30 million on the table to remain in San Francisco.

NFL analysts are calling it one of the most selfless decisions by a star player in recent memory.

“In today’s NFL, you almost never see players pass up this kind of money,” said ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “This move is about legacy, not just the bank account.”

Super Bowl or Bust

The 49ers haven’t lifted the Lombardi Trophy since the 1994 season, when legends like Steve Young and Jerry Rice led them to glory. For a franchise with five Super Bowl titles, the 30-year drought has been a painful reminder of unfinished business.

This star’s decision to stay is a direct signal that the 49ers are entering a “Super Bowl or bust” year.

“We’ve been so close the last few years,” he said, visibly emotional. “But close isn’t good enough anymore. I want to be the guy who helps this team finally finish the job.”

With the NFC growing more competitive — featuring powerhouse teams like the Eagles, Cowboys, and Lions — the road to the Super Bowl won’t be easy. Still, his commitment could be the spark the 49ers need to finally break through.

As training camp approaches, one thing is clear: San Francisco just retained its heart and soul, and their championship hopes are alive and well.
