Charvarius Ward aims to secure long-term spot with 49ers

The 49ers recently signed running back Christian McCaffrey to a contract extension and cornerback Charvarius Ward is hopeful that he could also get a new deal. Ward is currently in the final year of the three-year contract he signed with the 49ers before the 2022 season. Since joining the team, he has started all 40 games and was named a second-team All-Pro after an impressive performance last year with 72 tackles, five interceptions, 23 passes defensed, and a forced fumble.

Ward expressed his desire to remain with the 49ers beyond 2024, saying he loves the team, coaches, and teammates. While he acknowledged that the business side of things is handled by his agent, he plans to focus on performing well on the field and hopes the team will reward him with a new contract. He believes that the 49ers appreciate what he brings to the team and he is eager to continue contributing in the future.

Despite undergoing core muscle surgery after last season, Ward is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp. This will give him the opportunity to showcase his skills and make a strong case for a new contract. Ward remains optimistic about his future with the team and is committed to putting in the work to secure a new deal with the 49ers.
