Williams held out of training camp and didn't join the team until he and the organization agreed to a restructured contract Tuesday.

• 49ers' Trent Williams: Gets next two years guaranteed

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams and the 49ers agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract that guarantees the next two seasons of his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Williams' cited "security" as the No. 1 goal of his training camp holdout, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, and this restructure would seem to fit the bill. The 36-year-old left tackle called his new deal a "a win-win" scenario for both himself and San Francisco. The 11-time Pro Bowler is still playing at an elite level, and with the 49ers also having successfully retained Brandon Aiyuk after a tumultuous offseason, the key pieces of their offense will be intact heading into a Week 1 matchup against the Jets on Monday.

• 49ers' Trent Williams: Continues holdout

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams plans to continue his holdout until his contract is addressed, putting his Week 1 availability into question, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Williams has accrued non-rescindable $50,000 fines for each missed day of training camp. Plus, he'll be docked a game check for each of the three preseason contests his holdout covered. He presumably expects to make up that money and then some upon reaching an agreement with the 49ers, after fellow offensive tackles Tristan Wirfs and Penei Sewell reached $28 million per year on their respective contracts this offseason. Williams has three years remaining on a six-year, $138 million contract ($23m AAV) and is scheduled for a $20.5 million base salary in 2024 and $22.5 million in 2025.
