No Progress Between 49ers & Trent Williams

Garafolo says San Francisco previously expressed optimism that they would get a deal done with Williams, but he mentions there’s still work that needs to be done to ensure he doesn’t hit the market. 

Last week, it was reported San Francisco was expected to release Williams if they couldn’t agree on a revised deal. 

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.
