Trent Williams Signs $50M Extension with 49ers

0:00On April 20, San Francisco 49ers just locked down their star-left tackle Trent Williams with a two-year extension worth $50 million, keeping him on the roster through the 2027 season. Earlier this spring, things got tense when the team passed on a $10 million option bonus, leaving no guarantees for his 2026 year, but talks picked up steam at the league meetings in Arizona. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Williams, turning 38 next season, brings the lead protection to the line-second team All Pro in 20, 25, after a solid career shift from nine years in Washington to the Bay Area starting in 2020. This deal pushes him past 400 million in total earnings and 225 million guaranteed, making him the first non-quarterback, ever to hit those marks. With 37 million fully guaranteed, including a 22 million signing bonus, the Niners stay stacked up front, setting up for another deep. Playoff run. That's the story for today.
