NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers and left tackle Trent Williams have not reached a new contract agreement, leading to an increased cap number for Williams in the 2026 season.
- The 49ers will not exercise the $10 million option bonus in Williams’s contract, raising his cap hit to nearly $47 million for 2026.
- Without the option bonus, Williams has no guaranteed money in the final year of his current deal, and his base salary will be $22.21 million.
- Contract renegotiations have stalled, prompting speculation about a potential cut or trade, but the 49ers still intend to keep Williams on the roster before the April draft.
