The San Francisco 49ers and 12-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams have reached an agreement on a massive two-year, $50 million contract extension, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The deal, which comes just days before the 2026 NFL Draft, effectively ends a lingering contract standoff between the star tackle and the organization. The new agreement reportedly includes $37 million in full guarantees and a $22 million signing bonus. This extension ties Williams to San Francisco through the 2027 season, ensuring the anchor of the 49ers' offensive line remains in place.
With this deal, Williams continues to make financial history. He reportedly becomes the first non-quarterback in NFL history to surpass $400 million in career contract value and $225 million in total guarantees. At 37 years old, the three-time first-team All-Pro remains one of the most dominant forces in the league, and the 49ers have prioritized keeping him in the fold rather than facing a potential holdout.
General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan had expressed optimism throughout the offseason that a deal would eventually be struck. By finalizing the extension today, the 49ers clear a major hurdle before the draft kicks off on Thursday, allowing the front office to focus on draft strategy without the cloud of a contract dispute hanging over the roster.
