San Francisco 49ers’ star Trent Williams just scored a touchdown off the field – signing a $82.66 million three-year contract extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid offensive lineman! 💸 The deal includes $48 million at signing and a $25.69 million bonus, ending his 40-day holdout as he returned to practice this week.
『Win-Win Situation』🍻
At 36, Williams isn’t slowing down – he’s an 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time First-Team All-Pro. 'It took time, but both sides feel it’s a win-win,' he told reporters, clarifying the restructure wasn’t a 'dispute' but a strategic move. His 2024 salary of $27.65 million now tops the league for O-linemen.
Age Is Just a Number 👴➡️🏆
Williams joked about retirement plans, name-dropping Super Bowl champ Andrew Whitworth (who won at 41): 'Why not me?' He aims to keep 'knocking barriers down' while staying at an All-Pro level. 'If I can still play, I’ll keep going,' he added, shrugging off concerns about his age.
What’s Next? 🗓️
The 49ers kick off their season vs. the New York Jets on September 9 – with their star tackle locked in and ready to protect Brock Purdy. Will this deal fuel another Super Bowl run? 💪 Stay tuned!
