The San Francisco 49ers locked up another core player with a lucrative extension, agreeing to a three-year extension with All-Pro Fred Warner that makes him the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in NFL history.

A person familiar with the deal said Monday that the sides reached an agreement on the contract worth $63 million that keeps Warner locked up through the 2029 season. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hadn’t announced the deal.

ESPN first reported the extension and said it includes more than $56 million in guaranteed money.

The deal with Warner is the third extension San Francisco reached with one of its star players since the draft, having previously given quarterback Brock Purdy a $265 million, five-year extension and tight end George Kittle a $76.4 million, four-year deal.

Warner had two years remaining on the five-year, $95 million extension he signed in 2021 that was the richest at the time for an off-ball linebacker and ranked second to Baltimore’s Roquan Smith before this new deal.

The $21 million per year for Warner tops Smith’s $20 million average to once again make Warner the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in terms of average annual value.

Warner has developed into one of the top defensive players in the NFL after being drafted in the third round in 2021. He has been a first-team All-Pro the past three seasons and in four of the past five.

Warner had 131 tackles, five tackles for loss, two interceptions, seven passes defensed and four forced fumbles last season despite playing most of the season with a broken bone in his ankle.

Nick Sirianni already won a Super Bowl this year. The Philadelphia Eagles rewarded Sirianni with a multi-year contract extension to pair with that championship ring.

Sirianni has navigated the Eagles through some personal slings — everything from his supposed frosty relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts to his dubious sideline interactions with fans — to lead the franchise to four playoff appearances in four seasons and two trips to the Super Bowl. Sirianni led the Eagles to the title in this past season’s Super Bowl when they routed the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans.

Terms of the contract were not revealed. Sirianni had one year left on his existing five-year contract he signed when he was hired ahead of the 2021 season.

Sirianni is 48-20 in the regular season with the Eagles. He also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in the 2022 season where they lost to the Chiefs. The Eagles rebounded from a 2-2 start to finish the 2024 season on a 16-1 run, counting three playoff wins.

The Chargers signed running back Omarion Hampton, who the team selected 22nd overall in last month’s NFL draft, making him the highest pick at his position out of North Carolina in 40 years.

Angel Cabrera rolled in a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to complete an 8-under 64, and it proved to be a winner in the rain-delayed Regions Tradition in Birmingham, Ala., giving the Argentine his first senior major.

Cabrera had to wait to see if 54-hole leader Jerry Kelly could force a playoff. Kelly fell two behind with a bogey on the 17th, and could only manage a birdie at the last for a 68.

Storms interrupted the final round, and when the leaders finally began it was too late for them to finish. Kelly had completed 14 holes and Cabrera was though 15 holes when they returned to Greystone on Monday morning.

Cabrera finished at 20-under 268 and won for the second time on the PGA Tour Champions in the last two months. He won in Florida, his first title since being released after two years in an Argentine prison for gender violence.

Y.E. Yang finished another shot back in third place.

NBA

The NBA has fined Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams $25,000 for wearing clothing with profane language during a postgame media session, the league announced.

Williams’ actions came Sunday after the Thunder’s 125-93 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of their conference semifinals playoff series. Williams scored 24 points to help the Thunder advance to the Western Conference finals. Oklahoma City will open the series at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves today.

Arkansas sophomore Maria Jose Marin kept her poise down the stretch and closed with a birdie for a 3-under 69 for a two-shot victory in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship at La Costa in Carlsbad.

Jose Marin became the third woman from Arkansas to win the NCAA title, joining Stacy Lewis (2007) and Maria Fassi (2019).

Arkansas also is among eight teams advancing to the match play for the NCAA team title over the next two days. Stanford overwhelmed the field and will be the No. 1 seed for the fifth consecutive year. Stanford has won two of the last three years.

Virginia took the No. 8 seed when Arizona State and South Carolina faded late. Other teams advancing were Oregon, Northwestern, Florida State, USC and Texas.

Jose Marin finished at 12-under 276 and earns a spot in the U.S. Women’s Open next week at Erin Hills in Wisconsin.

Texas Tech men’s basketball coach Grant McCasland has agreed on a new contract that goes through the 2030-31 season, the school announced. The Red Raiders were 28-9 this past season and made the NCAA Elite Eight before losing to eventual national champion Florida. They finished second in the Big 12 standings behind national runner-up Houston, and were the only team to beat the Cougars in conference play. Tech was eighth in the final Associated Press poll.

McCasland is 51-20 at Texas Tech, and has gotten a contract extension after each of his first two seasons. He went 23-11 with an NCAA Tournament appearance in his 2023-24 debut with the Red Raiders. He initially got a six-year deal when he was hired two years ago after going 135-65 in six seasons as head coach at North Texas.

Will Power and Josef Newgarden were among the fastest cars in Indianapolis 500 practice, just hours after their teams were penalized for illegal modifications in qualifying, while Team Penske teammate Scott McLaughlin was searching for speed in a car built up following his practice crash.

IndyCar champion Alex Palou paced the two-hour session — the last before Carb Day on Friday, when drivers get on the track one last time before Sunday’s race — with a lap of 226.765 mph. Palou was followed by Helio Castroneves and Takuma Sato, and Jack Harvey, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Nolan Siegel were next, raising some eyebrows throughout the paddock.

Power was seventh on the speed chart. Newgarden was eighth.

Power, the 2018 winner, and Newgarden, the two-time defending champion, will start side-by-side in the final row for the 109th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” That was among penalties levied by IndyCar on Monday for unapproved changes to the attenuator, a safety device on the rear of the car designed to absorb and reduce the force of impacts.

They also will be without their race strategist, lose their qualifying points and their teams were issued $100,000 fines.
