49ers signed CB Shawntae Spencer to a five-year contract extension through 2012.
Smart move by San Francisco, who reportedly locked up the improving corner for “only” a $6 million signing bonus. Exact terms aren’t available, but Spencer’s salary will top out at $3.2 million in 2012, which isn’t much. Spencer was one of the few surprise picks by former GM Terry Donahue that worked out well.
