49ers Open To Trading LT Trent Williams

Williams is scheduled to carry a cap number higher than $38 million in 2026, and Rapoport says “a resolution has not been easy.”

Recently, it was reported that there wasn’t any progress on a new deal even though San Francisco expressed optimism in reaching an agreeement.

Williams, 37, is a former first-round pick of Washington back in 2010. He played out the final year of his five-year, $66 million contract that included $43.25 million guaranteed and made a base salary of $12.5 million for the 2020 season. 

The 49ers later traded for Williams and signed him to a new contract that runs through the 2026 season. Williams was set to earn a base salary of $20.05 million in 2024 when he agreed to a revised three-year, $82.66 million deal. 

In 2025, Williams appeared in and started 17 games for the 49ers at left tackle.

We’ll have more on Williams as the news becomes available.
