Signed a three-year, $82.66 million restructured contract with the 49ers in September of 2024.
Option bonus declined
The 49ers declined Williams' $10 million option bonus Friday, instead adding it to his base salary for the 2026 season, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If it would have been exercised, the 49ers would've been able to prorate the $10 million across the next four years. Williams' cap number for 2026 is now a whopping $46.3 million, though the sides are expected to continue to work on a new contract.

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.
