"There are some unique circumstances in that we all know what Trent is as a player, how great of a player he's been, general manager John Lynch said Feb. 24. He's going to be 38 years old and so there are some things that go into that. But I feel we're all on the same page and feel very positive about where that's going."
"Williams is entering the final year of a three-year pact he signed days before the 2024 season. He counts a team-high $39 million against this coming season's salary cap, including a $10 million bonus that is due March 20, which means time remains for more contract negotiations."
"The 49ers have no ready-made replacement unless they plan on moving Colton McKivitz from right tackle; McKivitz secured a three-year, $45 million extension last September. Austen Pleasants struggled in place of Williams in Week 18 against the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks."
The 49ers are considering trading Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams amid ongoing contract negotiations. Williams, 37, is in the final year of his three-year deal and carries a $39 million salary cap hit, with a $10 million bonus due March 20. His camp recently expressed discontent over contract talks. The team lacks a ready replacement unless moving Colton McKivitz from right tackle. General Manager John Lynch indicated optimism about resolving the situation. Meanwhile, the 49ers need wide receiver help but will not pursue Alec Pierce, who re-signed with Indianapolis. Several 49ers receivers, including Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne, are unrestricted free agents.
