Williamsâ total contract value is $24,943,354 ($6,235,839 APY), which is guaranteed as a high first-round pick with the fifth-year option available. Williams takes up 1.6% of the 49ersâ salary cap in 2026, and the number never rises above 2.2%, which is in the fourth year of the deal in 2028.
With the addition of Osa Odighizuwa, one could make an assumption that the 49ers arenât just betting on Williams to break out in year two, but thatâs not the case. The 49ersâ pass rush was so anemic last season that adding a veteran defensive tackle with pass-rushing ability, with several defensive line draft picks or additions, just made sense. Bosa, Osa, Williams, and a combination of Romello Height, Keion White, or possibly a veteran EDGE rusher addition will be Morrisâ version of Robert Salehâs âNascarâ or âTurboâ package. As long as Williams continues to set the edge facing the run, the rest of his game will be unlocked under Morris, and with Odighizuwa rushing the passer next to him on third downs.
The one thing we knew about Williams was his ability to slow down the run. That was evident in 2025, but the 49ers need his pass-rushing ability to take a jump. The flashes were there, but Williams needs to consistently be able to get after the quarterback in 2026. Any jump from Williams makes the 49ersâ pass rush downright scary. The realistic expectation should include some grace since the former Georgia EDGE rusher is recovering from an ACL injury. Perhaps Williams could start slow, but with how difficult the 49ersâ schedule gets down the stretch, a late-season charge would send Williamsâ optimism to the moon in 2027.
