Working on a $3.11 million base salary in the final season of his rookie contract, Lenoir will now make an average annual salary of $18.4 million, which would put him at 12th among cornerbacks, just below the Chicago Bears' Jaylon Johnson. He's entrenched among the at his position, though, noticeably ahead of the Detroit Lions' Carlton Davis at $14.8 million per year.

He's coming off the best season of his career, having posted 84 tackles, 10 pass breakups and three interceptions in 2023. Lenoir also posted eight tackles and a forced fumble in the 49ers' Super Bowl LVIII loss.

This season, the 25-year-old has recorded 53 tackles, six PBUs and two picks in nine starts.

Clearly viewed as a key player in the 49ers' future, Lenoir is a burgeoning talent who's now a well-compensated one set up in San Francisco through 2028.
