The San Francisco 49ers have exercised the option on K'Waun Williams' contract, keeping the cornerback signed through the 2020 season, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Per his agent, the #49ers have picked up the one-year option on cornerback K'Waun Williams' contract. (Like what the team did with FB Kyle Juszczyk yesterday). Williams, of course, is one of the top nickel CBs in the league.
Williams is preparing to enter his sixth NFL season and fourth with the 49ers. The Cleveland Browns initially signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh in 2014. Williams joined the 49ers on a one-year contract in 2017, and then signed a three-year extension later that year.
Williams finished the 2019 season with 51 tackles, a sack, two passes defensed, two interceptions, and four forced fumbles through 15 games and eight starts. He recorded 15 more tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble through San Francisco's three playoff games.
"I mean, the guy, he does it all for us," linebacker Fred Warner said of Williams in January. "He's unwavering. You know exactly what you're going to get out of him every single day, and when you put him on the field on Sundays, you know, I have so much respect for him.
"We call him the shark just because he eats. He's out there, and he might be a smaller guy because he's a nickel, but the dude is one of the most physical players I've been around, and the way he attacks the ball is something that I try to replicate when I'm out there."

San Francisco 49ers tackle Trent Williams has had ample time to reflect on the Super Bowl 58 defeat in Las Vegas. Looking back on his 2023 campaign, he refuses to label the season a failure, instead focusing on the positives of his team's valiant effort.
"That's the biggest loss you can take, but at the end of the day, you look at it for what it is," Williams said on "The Shop" podcast, according to Tristi Rodriguez of NBC Sports Bay Area. "I'm a realist. There were two teams left out of 32 teams. Two teams fighting for that one trophy. Yeah, it sucks, but you got to look back and say, at the end of the day, it was a successful season.
