Although the team is not officially commenting on the contract the 49ers have agreed to a 4 year contract extension with offensive lineman Alex Boone.  Boone has proved to be a steady backup at both tackle positions for the 49ers after the team chose to stick with him over veteran OT Barry Sims this off-season.

Boone was a college standout at Ohio St before going crazy and getting arrested and video taped acting like a moron just before the draft.  As a result of his bar barrack behavior Boone was not drafted.  The 49ers picked him up and stuck him on the practice squad for a season where he worked hard and showed some promise.  Boone has showed up to training camp the last 2 years in the best shape of his life and looks to have turned things around.
