Left tackle Trent Williams agreed to a restructured three-year, $82.66-million contract with the San Francisco 49ers to end his holdout, Williams' agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, announced Tuesday.

Williams will earn $48 million fully guaranteed and a $25.69-million signing bonus with the new deal.

He's been absent from team activities and facilities while seeking a new contract.

"It's a volatile league," Williams explained Tuesday, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra. "A guy my stature and my age, I thought security was important, and that was all."

The 36-year-old is an integral part of San Francisco's offense. Since joining the club ahead of the 2020 season, he's earned three consecutive first-team All-Pro nods and four straight Pro Bowl honors (now 11 straight in his career).

Williams has played almost every offensive snap across 58 games for San Francisco. He didn't allow a sack last season on 438 pass-blocking snaps and recorded an elite 90.1 run-blocking grade, per PFF.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder has been one of the NFL's most consistently dominant offensive linemen since 2012. He also previously garnered a second-team All-Pro berth in 2015 with Washington.
