The San Francisco 49ers caused a little bit of a worry when they extended Quinton Dial before the start of NFL free agency while Ian Williams, clearly the standout player on the defensive line, remained unsigned. Dial himself was a strong performer last season, but Williams was the only player who played at a high enough level to be considered a must-sign.
Fortunately, the relatively passive 49ers were able to get a deal done on Williams as well, securing two starters for their defensive line heading into next season.
Dial was signed to a three-year extension with new money just over $12 million with a chance for incentives to push it up to $16 million.
