The San Francisco 49ers are evidently golden heading into Week 1 after all.

As their regular-season opener against the New York Jets on "Monday Night Football" approaches, the reigning NFC champions wrapped up a revised contract extension Tuesday with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, according to his agency, Elite Loyalty Sports. The three-year, $82.66 million package includes $48 million in updated guarantees and a $25.69 million signing bonus, figures which help offset the millions in mandatory fines Williams accrued by missing training camp.

"Obviously, I didn't think it'd go this long," he said of his holdout Tuesday, when he also retuned to practice. "(I)t is what it is. We actually retained a really good rapport during the whole time I was away. ... It was all business.

"It's kind of (like) war, both sides are gonna lose a little blood. But, you know, wave the white flag at the end, we both signed a little peace treaty, and (we're) good."

Williams, 36, formerly the league's highest-paid offensive lineman and widely regarded as its premier left tackle, had recently dropped as low as sixth in terms of average annual salary ($23 million per before Tuesday) over the past year. He skipped camp seeking a new deal after fellow tackles Tristan Wirfs, Penei Sewell and Christian Darrisaw overtook him on the pay scale during the offseason. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Wirfs is currently the best-compensated blocker at $28.1 million annually after getting a five-year extension worth $140.6 million. Williams' adjustment bumps him back up to third ($27.6 million annually) after Wirfs and Sewell ($28 million), both much younger players.

The 49ers had had competing priorities in recent weeks, yet finally reached an extension with wideout Brandon Aiyuk last Thursday, bringing his "hold-in" to an end.

Now Williams rejoins the fold just days before the Niners initiate their latest attempt to win a record-tying sixth Super Bowl. And his presence is certainly predictive of the team's success, San Francisco suffering four of its five regular-season losses in 2023 when Williams was inactive (twice) or wasn't on the field for at least half the snaps.

An 11-time Pro Bowler and first-round pick of Washington in 2010, Williams was recently ranked the seventh-best player in the league by his peers in an annual NFL Network survey, the highest spot ever awarded to an offensive lineman.
