Trent Williams has signed a two-year, $50 million extension with the San Francisco 49ers, including $37 million in guarantees. This makes him the first non-quarterback in NFL history to surpass $400 million in career contract value.
Today is a Great Day to Extend Trent Williams: For Real This Time
The San Francisco 49ers and All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams have reached a historic resolution to their contract standoff, agreeing to a new two year, $50 million extension on Monday.
The deal, announced by Williamsâ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, just three days before the 2026 NFL Draft, includes $37 million in total guarantees and a $22 million signing bonus. With this extension, the 37 year old veteran becomes the first non-quarterback in NFL history to exceed $400 million in career contract value and $225 million in guarantees.
The agreement ensures the 12-time Pro Bowler remains under team control through the 2027 season, providing much needed stability for Brock Purdy's blindside. The 49ers had previously declined a $10 million option bonus in March, sparking rumors that a trade or release could be imminent as the team struggled to manage his massive $46.3 million salary cap hit.
"This one never got ugly," General Manager John Lynch said Monday as the team opened its offseason program. "He's one of the greatest players to ever play the game, but there's a reality with his age. It was about how to thread that needle to find a deal where everyone is happy."
Williams, who turns 38 in July, started 16 games last season and earned his 12th Pro Bowl nod. His presence is the cornerstone of a roster that includes fellow veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, both added earlier this offseason.
With Williams now locked in for the next two seasons, the 49ers have successfully scratched "Offensive Tackle" off their list of urgent alarm fires. While mock drafts had previously linked to prospects like Caleb Lomu (Utah) or Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) at No. 27, the urgency for a Day 1 replacement has evaporated.
Trent Williams' new contract extension is for two years and worth $50 million, with $37 million guaranteed and a $22 million signing bonus.
Trent Williams has become the first non-quarterback in NFL history to exceed $400 million in career contract value.
This contract extension solidifies Trent Williams' position as a key player for the 49ers, enhancing their offensive line as they approach the 2026 NFL Draft.
