The San Francisco 49ers made headlines this week by signing running back Christian McCaffrey to a contract extension. While McCaffrey secured his future with the team, cornerback Charvarius Ward is hoping for a similar opportunity.
Ward is currently in the final year of the three-year deal he signed with the 49ers back in 2022. Since joining the team, he has started every game and earned second-team All-Pro honors last season. With an impressive stat line of 72 tackles, five interceptions, 23 passes defensed, and a forced fumble, Ward has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team.
During a recent media session, Ward expressed his desire to remain with the 49ers beyond his current contract. He mentioned his love for the team, coaches, and teammates and stated that he trusts his agent to handle the business side of things. Despite his surgical procedure in the offseason, Ward is expected to be ready for training camp and is eager to showcase his skills to earn a new deal.
Ward’s positive attitude and commitment to the team make him an attractive candidate for an extension, and he remains hopeful that the 49ers see his value and secure his future with the franchise.
