49ers Rework Trent Williams Deal With No-Holdout Incentive, Create NFL-Best Cap Space

The structure cuts his 2026 cap charge to about $20 million to give San Francisco roughly $67 million in cap space.

Overview

  • Contract details published Tuesday show a two-year, $50 million extension with about $48.5 million guaranteed, including roughly $37 million fully guaranteed.
  • The restructure drops his 2026 cap figure from about $46.3 million to around $20 million, freeing roughly $24 to $26 million for near-term use.
  • San Francisco now holds about $67 million in available cap room, which multiple trackers list as the most in the NFL.
  • A rare attendance incentive ties an $11.5 million 2028 bonus to Williams being on the roster on Sept. 1, 2027 and not missing any 2027 offseason work.
  • The deal spreads bonus money over void years and sets a 2028 decision deadline, because failing to act would trigger a $50.175 million roster bonus fully guaranteed for 2029.
