49ers Sign First-Round Pick Mykel Williams to Four-Year Rookie Deal
The San Francisco 49ers have begun signing their 2025 NFL Draft picks, with first-round pick Mykel Williams agreeing to a four-year, $24.9 million fully guaranteed rookie contract including a $14.8 million signing bonus. Williams, selected 11th overall from the University of Georgia, is expected to bolster the 49ers' defensive line alongside Nick Bosa, particularly improving their pass rush and run defense. Seventh-round pick quarterback Kurtis Rourke, recently recovered from an ACL injury, signed a four-year deal worth $4.33 million, joining a competitive quarterback room that includes Brock Purdy and Mac Jones, and looks to develop under coach Kyle Shanahan's system. Additionally, undrafted cornerback Derrick Canteen was signed to a three-year contract after impressing at rookie minicamp, adding depth to the secondary with potential to contribute early. The 49ers continue to finalize contracts with other draft picks, focusing on integrating new talent to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
