Niners Lock Down Williams, NFC West Stays Stacked

0:00On April 20th, the San Francisco 49ers just locked down Trent Williams with a two-year extension worth $50 million, keeping the elite. Left tackle through the 2027 season. This deal makes him the first non-quarterback to top 400 million in career earnings, a massive payday for a guy who's dominated the line for years. Williams has a history of offseason drama with the Niners, pushing for more guaranteed cash or even trades, but he always ends up staying in balling. Out. Since joining San Francisco in 2020, he's been a wall, especially against rivals like the Seattle Seahawks, never allowing a sack from them. From a Seahawks fan view, it's frustrating, hoping that tension would lead to a trade that weakens the division foe. But the Niners know Williams is irreplaceable, shutting down past Russia's league-wide with zero sacks given up in 2023 and just a handful in recent years. Even pushing late 30s, turning 39 by the deal's end, Williams keeps earning pro-bowl nods, missing that honor only once since 20.
