Reports: 49ers All-Pro LT Trent Williams ends holdout after agreeing to contract extension

Trent Williams, the San Francisco 49ers star left tackle embroiled in a lengthy contract dispute with the team, has reportedly ended his holdout and was headed to the Bay Area to sign a new deal and report to practice.

Social media posts by Williams' brother and his agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, indicated Williams was traveling Monday night to finalize a contract extension.

The 36-year-old Williams, widely considered the National Football League's top offensive lineman, has held out through the entire 49ers training camp and three preseason games, accruing more than $4 million in fines for the missed practices and games, ESPN reported.

In 2021, Williams signed a six-year, $138 million extension, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL at the time. However, the $22 million he's owed for 2025 and the $32 million for 2026 were not guaranteed. CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones cites a source that says there are still "a few things to work through" but it's believed the new deal will be finalized this week with an eye on a Week 1 start.

Word of the deal comes less than a week after the 49ers and All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk agreed to a $120 million four-year contract extension , keeping Aiyuk with the team through the 2028 season.

The 49ers, reigning National Football Conference champions, begin the regular season on Monday night against the New York Jets at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
