Signed a two-year, $50 million contract with the 49ers in April of 2026.
Agrees to extension with 49ers
Williams and San Francisco agreed to terms Monday on a two-year, $50 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams' extension provides him a salary reflecting his caliber of play that is more feasible than the tremendous $45.3 million number he had carried for 2026. Though he's now heading into his age-38 season, Williams is as sure a bet as exists in the league to continue operating at an elite level for the course of his new extension, which keeps him with the 49ers through 2027. HIs presence provides increased stability for the fantasy value of veteran RB Christian McCaffrey, as well as QB Brock Purdy.

Williams dealt with an ankle injury that landed the All-Pro tackle on injured reserve after 10 games played in 2024. The 37-year-old held out for more money prior to his down year last season, so Williams should be motivated to produce a bounce-back campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Optimism for resolution
Coach Kyle Shanahan said he expects Williams and the 49ers to come to an agreement on a new contract in the near future, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The 49ers didn't exercise a $10 million option in Williams' contract earlier this offseason, causing his cap hit to rise to $46.34 million for 2026. A restructure or long-term agreement will be necessary for Williams to remain in San Francisco, though Shanahan had no updates regarding any negotiations. While there were rumors that Williams could move to a new team, Shanahan is striking an optimistic tone about his star left tackle remaining on the roster for the 2026 campaign.
