Former NFL player Kevin Ware Jr. has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for brutally murdering his girlfriend and then setting fire to her corpse.

Ware, 41, a former тιԍнт end for the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers, reached a deal on Wednesday with the prosecution in exchange for pleading guilty to the 2021 murder of his 29-year-old girlfriend Taylor Pomaski.

Pomaski disappeared under suspicious circumstances after she was last seen at a party at her home in Houston, Texas, on April 25, 2021, NBC Houston reported.

Just days before she vanished, her NFL boyfriend was found with guns — including a loaded AK-47 — as well as cocaine and meth when he was pulled over for speeding at 115 mph in Montgomery County, ABC13 News reported.

Pomaski’s remains were found dumped in a ditch in Harris County in December 2021.

Ware had “cut her with a knife, hit her with a blunt object, strangled her and then burned her corpse,” court documents revealed.

Pomaski’s ex-boyfriend said he believed she was in an abusive and toxic relationship at the time she disappeared.

“Taylor reached out to me many times throughout the month of April. We were talking about her getting out of there, getting back on her feet, getting herself set and stabilized,” Eric Zuleger told KHOU 11 News.

Ware previously pleaded guilty to drugs and weapons charges on December 12, 2022 — the day his trial was due to begin for those charges — and was sentenced to 15 years in prison for that.

Ware played football at Klein Oak High School in Harris County, Texas, before playing at the University of Washington.

He went undrafted in the 2003 NFL Draft, but later that same year he signed with the Washington Redskins.

Ware played 11 games in DC before he was waived on June 29, 2004, and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers the following month.

Overall, he played just five games for the 49ers before signing with the Oakland Raiders, although he never played for them.
