Coming into the offseason, one area of focus for the San Francisco 49ers was the secondary. The Niners had nine players from the group up for free agency, but general manager John Lynch was able to lock up four key pieces.
One of those pieces is slot corner K’Waun Williams, who agreed to return to the team on a one-year deal worth $2.3 million. The 29-year-old played in eight games last season, racking up 22 tackles (five for a loss), four passes defended, two sacks and two QB hits.
It looked like Williams’ days with the organization would come to an end, but he looked around the league and decided he wanted to run it back with his teammates after an injury-riddled season.
