"With five-time All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams scheduled to carry a $39 million cap number this season, he and the 49ers currently are struggling to find a contractual solution, per league sources. If the two sides can't bridge their differences in their standoff, Williams... [would hit free agency]."
"Williams, 37, is a 12-time Pro Bowler, three-time first-team All-Pro, and two-time second-team All-Pro. He has 204 regular-season games under his belt to go along with 13 playoff games. With the Bears' left tackle situation in flux, Williams' availability is something worth monitoring."
"We've got some opportunities there. Whether it's free agency, or the draft - and certainly some of our own in the building, as well - that we're looking to continue to develop. And so, we look at all of the opportunities out there. We've got a lot of conversations going on for what that's going to look like."
The Chicago Bears are seeking solutions at left tackle as their current situation remains uncertain. Five-time All-Pro Trent Williams and the San Francisco 49ers are at an impasse over his $39 million cap number this season. If negotiations fail, Williams would hit free agency as the top offensive lineman available. At 37 years old, Williams brings extensive credentials including 12 Pro Bowl selections, five All-Pro honors, and 204 regular-season games of experience. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson indicated the team is exploring multiple avenues including free agency, the draft, and internal development to address the position.
