It was to have the best year of his career, and sure enough he accomplished that goal. Ward saw himself earn an All-Pro honor in 2023 and established himself as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. A season like that creates a ton of momentum for him going into 2024.
And that is exactly what he wants as he enters the final year of his deal with the San Francisco 49ers. The chances Ward gets extended by them are low, especially given they have Brandon Aiyuk to worry about. Speaking of chances, it is likely that he has himself another impressive year in 2024. Doing so will only raise his value that is already high."I just got to go out there and have my best year. You know, be better than last year and all of that will take care of itself.
There is bound to be a team in free agency that offers more than the 49ers can afford after 2024. By that time they will have a contract extension for Brock Purdy to worry about. It just doesn't look like it will align for the 49ers and Ward to last beyond 2024. Not to mention that Deommodore Lenoir is in the last year of his deal as well.
He is the cornerback that the 49ers will probably lean with since he will be cheaper and can play inside and out. It isn't impossible for Ward and the 49ers to work out a deal before the 2024 season, but given how he spoke in the interview, he seems intent on waiting until after the year.Jose Luis Sanchez III has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily for FanNation since 2019.
