TRENT WILLIAMST, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
49ers signed LT Trent Williams to a six-year, $138 million contract.
Williams' patience pays off (literally) in becoming the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history, landing $55.1 million guaranteed including $30.1 million as a signing bonus. Initially drafted by Mike Shanahan in 2010, it's also likely Williams, 32, finishes his career under Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco. The Chiefs and Bears had reportedly discussed deals with him too but weren't in the same ballpark in terms of compensation. The final details are expected to unveil the Niners stretching out Williams' cap hit to allow for $16-$18 million in cap space ahead of the official start of free agency.
