Perhaps the 49ers don’t think they will be able to bring back free agent Dashon Goldson.

San Francisco agreed to terms with safety Madieu Williams on Monday, according to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com. It seems unlikely but not impossible the 49ers could still sign Goldson, who was also reportedly negotiating with the Raiders.

Williams was the 2010 NFL Man of the Year in Minnesota, but his play struggled in recent years. At this point, Williams looks likely to start at free safety, probably opposite Taylor Mays.
