SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Despite some turbulence along the way, the San Francisco 49ers and star left tackle Trent Williams hoped to figure out a reworked deal that would potentially allow him to retire a Niner before the start of Thursday's NFL draft.

On Monday morning, both sides got what they wanted as Williams' agency announced that he and the team have agreed to a new two-year, $50 million contract extension that ties him to the team through the 2027 season.

According to the announcement from Elite Loyalty Sports, Williams gets $37 million fully guaranteed, including a $22 million signing bonus. The agency also said Williams will become the first non-quarterback to surpass $400 million in career earnings and $225 million in guarantees.
