The Arizona Cardinals<\/a> will have to deal with one of the best left tackles in the NFL for potentially another couple of seasons. Avoiding a potential lengthy offseason contract dispute, the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> and left tackle Trent Williams<\/a> agreed to a two-year, $50 million extension<\/a> that keeps him around through 2027.<\/p>\n

Williams will turn 38 years old in July, but the 12-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro is still great.<\/p>\n

He gets a $22 million signing bonus and $37 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n

If he plays out both seasons, it means the Cardinals will have to deal with him protecting 49ers quarterbacks and creating holes in the run game at least four more times.<\/p>\n

The $25 million per-year average on the extension is something to watch, as the Cardinals will be negotiating an extension with left tackle Paris Johnson. Johnson has said he wants to be a $40 million per-year man. With Williams’ deal, we will see how that impacts future left tackle contracts.<\/p>\n
