The San Francisco 49ers were entering the 2026 NFL Draft with a first-round pick that had a few different routes the team could take.
Edge rusher and wide receiver are two spots to keep in mind, but with the uncertainty around Trent Williams, offensive tackle was also on the table.
However, as Elite Loyalty Sports, William's agency, shared on Twitter/x, the 49ers can breathe a sigh of relief, as Williams is set to sign a huge $50 million contract to remain with the 49ers for the next two seasons.
49ers to sign Trent Williams to $50 million new deal
"@TrentW71 and Elite Loyalty Sports make NFL history again, securing a new 2-year, $50M deal with the 49ers," Elite Loyalty Sports shared.
This is some huge news for the 49ers, as they no longer have to worry about finding the Williams' successor over the next two seasons.
Brock Purdy has his left tackle locked in for then ext two years on a $50 million deal, which includes $37 million fully guaranteed to go with a $22 million signing bonus, according to Williams' agency.

Another interesting facet of this signing for the 49ers and Williams is that he's now become the first non-QB to make $400M in contracts with $225M in guarantees in his NFL career, according to his agency.
Not only do the 49ers get to keep their future Hall of Fame left tackle for the next two seasons, but he's getting a good amount of new, guaranteed money, and breaking records in the process.
This is some huge news for the 49ers right at the start of NFL Draft week. Offensive tackle is no longer a need, letting John Lynch focus on edge rusher and wide receiver early in the upcoming draft.
