## Resource

Following several months of negotiations, Trent Williams and the 49ers reached an agreement on a contract extension that stabilizes their biggest question mark heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. The move shows a clear commitment from both sides to maximize a championship window, while locking in a locker-room leader and addressing a premium roster position. On this episode of "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how re-signing Trent Williams impacts the organization and how it might shift San Francisco's draft strategy. Also, they discuss the start of San Francisco's offseason program, Brock Purdy's excitement at playing with an elite wide receiver in Mike Evans, and Matt's final mock draft pick for the 49ers.
