“I don’t have any answers right now, but I do know there is interest on both sides, of course,” Williams said. “I would love to be here, and if the business works out the same, you’ll see me for years to come.
“And that’s what I hope happens.”
Williams said the sides have not discussed contract figures. The 49ers hold exclusive negotiating rights with Williams until the start of the free-agent signing period in March. He made more than $12.5 million this season.
