Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

This signing grades out as an overpay for the San Francisco 49ers — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Eddy's on-field performance ranks in the bottom third among NFL PKs, grading him as a depth piece at the position. His $4.3M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the PK market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — depth piece output at below-market money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Eddy is still in or near his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 4-year, $17.0M contract with $8.0M guaranteed (47%) represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.

Performance Analysis

Eddy Pineiro grades as an above-average starter among NFL pks — an above-average player at the position. His strongest area is field goal accuracy at 96.6% (well above the NFL average of 85.0%), ranking as elite for the position. His 2025 season graded as a A+, a significant jump from his D+ mark in 2024.

Current Sentiment

Eddy Pineiro, the 30-year-old placekicker for the San Francisco 49ers, has garnered a positive sentiment from both fans and media. Despite a somewhat average performance grade of C-, his consistent reliability and experience of 8 years in the league have earned him strong support. The lack of recent news coverage suggests a stable and uncontroversial tenure, which is often viewed favorably for a specialist position like the kicker. Overall, Pineiro's solid contributions and dependability have resulted in a favorable B+ grade and a score of 72 from the sports analyst perspective.
