The San Francisco 49ers have secured star left tackle Trent Williams with a new two-year, $50 million contract that includes $37 million in guaranteed money and a $22 million signing bonus. This agreement provides clarity for the team's future as they approach the NFL draft. Williams, who turns 38 in July, is coming off his 12th Pro Bowl season, the most for any offensive tackle, and has consistently performed at a high level. He was instrumental in the 49ers' offensive line, allowing only 40 pressures last season, his highest since his rookie year in 2010. The timing of this deal, finalized on the first day of the offseason program, alleviates the need for the 49ers to prioritize drafting a tackle with their 27th pick in the upcoming draft. Since acquiring Williams from Washington in the 2020 draft, the 49ers have not drafted a tackle with a Day 1 or Day 2 pick, leaving them without a clear succession plan for when Williams eventually retires.
