SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams ended his contract holdout and reported to the San Francisco 49ers to finalize a new deal that have him a significant raise and guaranteed money.
Williams' agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, posted on social media Tuesday that Williams' new deal will pay him $82.66 million over three years with a $25.69 million signing bonus and $48 million guaranteed at signing.
“I didn’t think that it would get this drawn out, but it’s a tough business," Williams said. "This was a very intricate contract, I wouldn’t call it a dispute, but restructure. It took time to get to where both sides feel like it’s a win-win.”
The 36-year-old Williams was owed $20.05 million this season under the six-year, $138.1 million deal he signed in 2021 that had no guaranteed money remaining. Williams joins Tristan Wirfs, Penei Sewell and Christian Darrisaw as tackles getting deals this offseason worth at least $26 million a year.
