49ers ink Trent Williams to record-breaking contract extension

The San Francisco 49ers have brought out the brinks trunk to retain their star left tackle.

The team has made Trent Williams the highest paid offensive lineman in NFL history, signing him to a lucrative six-year, $138.1-million contract extension that includes $55.1 million guaranteed and a $30.1 million signing bonus.

Williams, 32, is a 10-year NFL veteran and eight-time Pro Bowler. He was traded to the 49ers last offseason after spending nine years with the Washington Football Team. In 2020, he finished with the fourth-best pass block win rate (93.6%) among offensive tackles.
