As the NFL approached the opening of its business year Wednesday, teams were doing a whole lot of, well, business.
The 49ers held onto the best tackle who could have become a free agent, giving Trent Williams the richest contract ever for an offensive lineman.
Raiders coach Jon Gruden, who likes speedy wideouts as much as he enjoys watching game film, added John Brown, recently cut by Buffalo.
Detroit took away one of division-rival Green Bay’s offense pieces, giving a two-year contract to running back Jamaal Williams.
And Washington stayed busy by agreeing with cornerback William Jackson on a contract worth $42 million over three years with $26 million guaranteed, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
