BREAKING: The 49ers have locked in offensive tackle Trent Williams to a three-years contract extension worth $67 million.

San Francisco 49ers supporters can breathe a sigh of relief now that the team has signed standout offensive lineman Trent Williams to a three-year contract deal worth $67 million. Williams, who has been a key member of the 49ers’ offensive line since joining the team in 2020, was largely regarded as one of the top free agents in this year’s class and was expected to get interest from multiple teams throughout the league.

The 33-year-old tackle, a seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro, has proven to be one of the most durable and consistent offensive linemen in the NFL, missing only one game over the past three seasons.

“Trent is a true ironman and a leader on our team,” said 49ers general manager John Lynch in a statement. “He brings a level of toughness and experience that is invaluable, and we are thrilled to have him back for the next three years.”

The 49ers’ choice to substantially invest in Williams demonstrates the team’s dedication to developing a strong offensive line, which is an important component of their offensive game plan under head coach Kyle Shanahan.

“Having a dominant offensive line is crucial in our offense,” according to Shanahan. “Trent is a key part of that and we are excited to have him locked up for the foreseeable future.” The contract extension is also likely to have an impact on the team’s salary cap, as the 49ers are anticipated to make tough decisions on other players in the coming weeks and months.

While the 49ers’ investment in Williams is a clear indication of their faith in his abilities, some analysts have questioned whether the team is overpaying for a player who is entering the later stages of his career.BREAKING: The 49ers have locked in offensive tackle Trent Williams to a three-years contract extension worth $67 million.

“Trent is still one of the best tackles in the game, but $67 million is a lot of money for a player who is 33 years old,” said one NFL insider. “The 49ers are banking on him staying healthy and productive for the duration of this contract, which is a big gamble.”
