Niners Sign Williams, Eye Lomu for Long-Term

0:00On April 22nd, the San Francisco 49ers just locked down left-tackled Trent Williams with a 2-year 50-million-dollar extension keeping him through the 20-27 season. This move plugs a huge gap on their offensive line after off-season worries. Williams turns 38 next month, so the team knows they need a successor pronto to shield quarterback Brock Perty's blindside for the long hull. ESPN analyst Peter Schreger is calling it. He predicts General Manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan snack offensive tackle Caleb Lomu in the pressing. First round of the 20-26 NFL draft. This 21-year-old, 6-foot-6Bs from the University of Utah, started 24 games at left tackle over the last two years and snagged. All big 12 honors in 2025. With extensions already in place for Williams and right tackle Colton McIvitz, the Niners look solid short-term, but they could slide Lomu to right. Tackle or even gar to build depth and ease the transition when the time comes. NFL news today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on game day. I'm Cory with the story.
