Mack, who previously played for the Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons, made the seventh Pro Bowl of his career last season.
The 36-year-old boasts three second-team All-Pro nods (2013, 2016, 2017) and was a member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade team.
Mack was drafted by the Browns in the first round of the 2009 draft and spent seven seasons in Cleveland before joining Atlanta as a free agent in 2016. He signed with the 49ers last offseason.
The center played in 196 regular-season games and was known for his consistency and durability. The veteran suited up for every regular-season game in all but two of his 13 campaigns.
San Francisco will gain over $4 million in cap space, as Mack agreed to rework his deal, according to Field Yates of ESPN.
Jake Brendel is first in line to replace Mack with the 49ers.
