The San Francisco 49ers and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir have reached a five-year, $92-million extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.

Lenoir, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, is in the final year of the rookie deal he signed after being the 172nd overall pick (fifth round) in the 2021 NFL draft. He was poised to be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Lenoir has 53 tackles, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble this season. He also scooped up a fumble on special teams vs. the Arizona Cardinals and returned it 61 yards for his first career touchdown.

In 2023, Lenoir played 311 snaps in the slot and 570 at outside corner, allowing a minus-4.7 EPA, 80.1 passer rating and just one touchdown when targeted, while posting three interceptions and 10 passes defended.
