    Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports - "The 49ers and Patrick Willis have agreed to a huge 5-yr, $50 million extension" Willis is only 25, and coming off of 3 straight 140+ tackle seasons. Fox Sports reported the deal, which extends Willis' tenure in the Bay Area beyond the two years remaining on his current deal, is worth $50 million. "I am very proud of what Pat has been able to accomplish," coach Mike Singletary said in a statement. "He is the epitome of what a 49er is all about. "Before it is all said and done, he may go down as one of the best to play the position."

    Of the $50 million he is to be paid, $29M is guaranteed.
