The San Francisco 49ers signed guard/center Daniel Kilgore on Thursday to a three-year contract extension through the 2017 season.
“We are pleased to extend the contract of a talented, young player like Dan,” general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. “This move is another example of our philosophy to extend the contracts of our own young players.”
Originally selected by the 49ers in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft, the 26-year-old Kilgore (6-foot-3, 308 pounds) has appeared in 33 regular-season games during his three-year career, including all 16 regular-season games and all three postseason contests in 2013.
