ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported, citing league sources, that the sides were working to finalize a new contract after Williams’ brother Fred posted several Instagram stories suggesting Trent is on his way back to the Bay Area to sign a contract.

Williams entered camp with a 2024 base salary of $20.05 million, which made him the sixth highest paid NFL offensive lineman. He originally signed a six-year contract in 2021.

The 49ers got Brandon Aiyuk’s contract extension done last week and now it appears they are close to reworking Williams’ deal less than a week before the 2024 season opener against the New York Jets next Monday night.
