The first player signed by the 49ers' new regime has become the first player to receive a contract extension. On Friday, the 49ers signed nickel cornerback K'Waun Williams to a three-year extension through 2020. The 49ers began their offseason overhaul by signing Williams on Feb. 22, 16 days after head coach Kyle Shanahan was hired.

Williams is in his first season with the 49ers, but he has a long-standing relationship with secondary coach Jeff Hafley.
