Williams deal gives 49ers seven highest-paid players at their position originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 49ers have an abundance of high-profile players and none of them come cheap.

After agreeing to a lucrative reworked contract with All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams this week, San Francisco now has seven players among the five highest-paid at their respective positions in terms of average annual salary.

Purdy amazingly is the 79th highest-paid at the quarterback position, but that likely will change next offseason when he becomes contract-extension eligible. Especially after Dallas Cowboys signal-caller Dak Prescott’s massive four-year, $240 million deal reset an already exploding quarterback market.

Will the 49ers soon have eight of the highest-paid players at their position or will Purdy’s impending contract force San Francisco to move one or multiple of their high-profile players?
