The San Francisco 49ers have brought back Titan Jake Tongues on a $2-year $8-million contract

after his breakout year. They also resign kicker Eddie Peniero, holding onto two key contributors

from free agency.

Tonjes earned Top 10 Titan Status in 2025 with 40 catches, 366 yards, and 5 touchdowns

over 17. Games. This deal spreads out the cost smartly, with about $2.4 million in base

pay across the next two seasons and a signing bonus. Pro rated over 5 years. His cap hits

sit at $2.06 million in 2026 and $2.61 million in 2027, making it a real value for the team.

Fans and analysts see it as a win, especially since Tonjes went undrafted but turned into

a reliable target. He stepped up, despite limited snaps when star George Kiddell, Dell

with injuries, proving the 49ers knack for developing local talent from LoSOS, Gato's

high school. With Kiddell now facing a torn Achilles and no firm return date, Tonjes

could see an even bigger role early in 2026. His zero catches before last season make

this $8-million packed one of the off-season's feel-good stories. Heading into next year,

all eyes stay on Tonjes to build on that momentum and solidify his spot in the Bay Area lineup.
