Williams’ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, announced the deal that includes $37 million of fully guaranteed money and a $22 million signing bonus. Williams had been owed about $33 million this season in the final year of a three-year, $82.3 million deal he had signed before the 2024 season before agreeing to the new contract. The 49ers got the deal done on the first day of their offseason program and three days before the start of the draft.

Williams turns 38 in July but is still playing at a high level after making the Pro Bowl and earning second-team …
