49ers sign DT Quinton Dial to three-year extension
A few hours later, the 49ers made sure they would keep Dial, 25, on the roster for the foreseeable future by signing him to a three-year contract extension that could keep him with the team through 2020.
Throughout his first three seasons in the NFL,” Baalke said in a statement, “Quinton has shown consistent development and has become a key contributor in our defense.
In 2016, Dial and Arik Armstead, a 2015 first-round pick, will probably start on the defensive line in the 49ers’ 3-4 defense.
