49ers Open To Trading LT Trent Williams

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the 49ers are now open to trading LT Trent Williams if they don’t resolve the contract situation.

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 agreement.

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.
