The San Francisco 49ers agreed on a massive 6-year contract extension with star offensive lineman Trent Williams. The Former Washington player ensured his long-term future will be in the bay after penning the new deal.

Despite enduring a shaky start to life in San Francisco, the veteran NFL defensive star is now the top-paid offensive lineman in the league. He is set to rake in a massive $138.06 million over the next six years. That includes a signing bonus of $30,100,000.

David Bakhtiari teases Trent Williams after his record-breaking deal with 49ers

David Bakhtiari posted the above tweet on his social media handle. Prior to Trent’s new deal, it was Bakhtiari who was the most paid offensive lineman in the league.

 

The two rivals have mutual respect amongst themselves, which makes this banter all the more entertaining to watch. Unlike Williams, Bakhtiari endured a tough outing in 2020. This can be attributed to the fact that he was struggling with injuries throughout the year.

David Bakhtiari has been one of the most consistent players for the Packers in the last decade. He is one of the leaders in the team dressing room and has the trust of star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The NFC North franchise was once again knocked out in the NFC Championship Game last season. Prior to that year, it was no one else but the 49ers who knocked out the Packers at the same stage.
