Golden Nuggets: The 49ers beat out the Chiefs for Trent Williams

Unless your expectations were that San Francisco would go out and sign the biggest names in free agency, you’re impressed with the team and what they’ve done this week. The 49ers could stand to add another cornerback, a pass rusher, and a wide receiver, but those are all positions where the draft is strong and the free agency market has a handful of value signings available.

It was Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs quarterback who was last seen running for his life from Buccaneers pass rushers in the Super Bowl. According to those privy to the conversations, Mahomes made a strong pitch in texts and phone calls to Williams about joining him as the Chiefs’ new left tackle.
