San Francisco 49ers cornerback K’Waun Williams will remain with the team for yet another season, according to a Thursday report from The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, citing Williams’ agent.
The Niners not shockingly picked up Williams’ option for 2020, ensuring the 28-year-old defensive back would be back with the team amid some notable concerns about the secondary heading into the offseason.
Addressing the secondary is high atop San Francisco’s offseason to-do list, yes. But worrying about the nickel cornerback spot isn’t part of those worries.
Williams, whom the 49ers picked up as a free agent back in 2017, was exceptional last season.
