49ers LT Trent Williams agrees to 2-year, $50M deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams agreed to a two-year, $50 million extension, his agency confirmed Monday.

The 12-time Pro Bowl selection’s contract includes $37 million fully guaranteed and a $22 million signing bonus, according to Elite Loyalty Sports.

Williams, who turns 38 in July, is now signed through the 2028 season. He becomes the first non-quarterback in NFL history to eclipse $400 million in contract value and $225 million in guarantees, per his agency.

The 49ers declined to exercise a $10 million option bonus for Williams last month. He is due a base salary of $22.2 million for 2026 with a salary cap number of $38.84 million.

Drafted No. 4 overall by Washington in 2010, Williams is a three-time first-team All-Pro who has played in 204 games (203 starts) with Washington (2010-18) and San Francisco. He started 16 games last season, his most since the 2013 campaign.

Report: 49ers decline option bonus for LT Trent Williams

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The San Francisco 49ers are not exercising a $10 million option bonus for left tackle Trent Williams, ESPN reported on Friday.

Passing on the bonus leaves no guaranteed money for Williams entering the final year of his current contract. It also pushes the 12-time Pro Bowler’s salary cap number to nearly $47 million for 2026.

The 49ers are still hoping to rework the 37-year-old veteran’s contract ahead of next month’s draft, per the report.

Before Friday’s decision, Williams’ cap number was $38.84 million, including a base salary of $22.21 million.

“Here’s what I know,” general manager John Lynch said at last month’s scouting combine. “Trent loves being a Niner. We love having Trent as a Niner, and it’s up to us to figure that out and to thread that needle. There are some unique circumstances in that we all know what Trent is as a player, how great of a player he’s been. He’s going to be 38 years old and so there’s some things that go into that. But I think we’re all on the same page and feel very positive about where that’s going.”

Drafted No. 4 overall by Washington in 2010, Williams is a three-time first-team All-Pro who has played in 204 games (203 starts) with Washington (2010-18) and San Francisco. He started 16 games last season, his most since the 2013 campaign.

Reports: 49ers LT Trent Williams to play vs. Eagles

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams is expected to play in Sunday’s NFC wild-card game against the host Philadelphia Eagles, multiple media outlets reported.

Williams, 37, was listed as questionable to play for the 49ers (12-5) due to a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice on both Thursday and Friday after sitting out San Francisco’s regular-season finale.

A 12-time Pro Bowl selection, Williams has started all 16 games in which he has played this season and 203 of the 204 games in which he has competed in his NFL career. He was selected by the Washington franchise with the fourth overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft.

49ers LT Trent Williams questionable, but ‘confident’ he’ll face Eagles

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco left tackle Trent Williams is tracking toward playing, but the 12-time Pro Bowl selection will be a game-time decision for Sunday’s wild-card matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Definitely more confident,” Williams said when asked about his chances of playing. “Honestly, I’m kind of pushing the limits on how much (time) is required for it. So it will probably be in the back of my mind for a little bit. But once I get out there and get the juices flowing and the adrenaline going, I don’t think it should be a big problem.”

Williams practiced on a limited basis both Thursday and Friday and said he feels good enough to suit up, even as he acknowledged he’s accelerating the timeline on a hamstring strain suffered Dec. 28 while chasing down a Chicago Bears defender on the first snap.

His availability looms large: since 2020, the 49ers are 61-32 with Williams and 4-13 when he’s out.

Wideout Ricky Pearsall is a tougher call. He didn’t practice this week after aggravating a knee injury against the Bears and sitting out Week 18. Pearsall has battled ailments all season, appearing in nine games with 36 catches for 528 yards. He’s listed as questionable.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan left the door open for Pearsall despite the missed practice time, noting the second-year receiver did some side work Thursday before being held out Friday.

Five other 49ers are listed as questionable: linebackers Dee Winters (ankle) and Luke Gifford (quadriceps), defensive lineman Keion White (groin/hamstring), receiver Jacob Cowing (hamstring) and CB Renardo Green (ankle).

Travis Kelce, Trent Williams hit milestones as Pro Bowl rosters set

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Rosters for the 2026 Pro Bowl Games are set with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens leading the league with six selections apiece.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams hit landmarks at their positions and New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was voted in for the second time in as many seasons. Selections were determined by a consensus of voting from fans, players and coaches — each group counting one-third of the vote — with voting completed on Dec. 19.

The Pro Bowl Games, a series of competitions including a flag football game, will be played Feb. 3 during the week-long lead-in to Super Bowl LX in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Pro Football Hall of Famers and 49ers legends Jerry Rice (NFC) and Steve Young (AFC) are coaching the teams with all events taking place at San Francisco’s Moscone Center South Building.

Twenty-nine teams had at least one player selected to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games roster and 22 clubs had multiple players chosen as All-Stars. The Ravens, Broncos, 49ers and Seahawks each had six selections on the original roster, tied for the most among teams, while the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles each had five selections.

Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills (fourth selection), Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers (second selection) and Maye (second selection) represent the AFC quarterbacks. The NFC quarterbacks are Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks (second selection), Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys (fourth selection) and Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams (fourth selection).

Hometown offensive tackle Williams of the 49ers was selected to his 12th Pro Bowl, the fourth player in league history to be picked one dozen times. He joins Pro Football Hall of Famers Bruce Matthews (14), Randall McDaniel (12) and Will Shields (12). Another 49ers’ offensive player, Kyle Juszczyk was selected to a position-record 10th Pro Bowl.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was voted the AFC starter at tight end. His backup is Kelce of the Chiefs, selected for Pro Bowl No. 11, tying Jason Witten (Cowboys) for the second-most Pro Bowl selections at the position. Only former Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez (14) has more.

Colts guard Quenton Nelson is the second offensive lineman to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight career seasons since 1970, joining Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Thomas (first 10 seasons).

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase is the third wide receiver to be selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons, joining Tyreek Hill (first eight seasons) and A.J. Green (first seven).

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Micah Parsons is the first defensive player to be named to the Pro Bowl in the first five seasons of his career since Aaron Donald of the Rams was chosen each of his first 10 seasons (2014-23).

49ers coach: All-Pro OT Trent Williams (ankle) likely to miss rest of season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams, who has missed the last four San Francisco games because of an ankle injury, is likely done for the season, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday.

“I mean, if he gets back to healthy, we’d play him,” Shanahan said. “But it’s not like that right now, so it’s getting closer to being that way.”

San Francisco (6-8) has regular-season games remaining at Miami on Sunday, at home against Detroit on Dec. 30 and at Arizona on a day to be determined.

Williams, 36, has not played since the 20-17 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 17. He has started all 10 games he has played this season and played 98 percent (649) of the offensive snaps in those games.

Jaylon Moore has stepped in for Williams, who was not expected to practice on Wednesday. Moore, 26, was a fifth-round pick of the 49ers in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan.

Williams is an 11-time Pro Bowl selection (2012-18, 2020-23) and three-time first-team All-Pro (2021-23). Washington selected him fourth overall in the 2010 draft out of Oklahoma.

Shanahan also said Wednesday that rookie running back Isaac Guerendo, who sustained a hamstring injury in the loss last Sunday to the Los Angeles Rams, will not practice.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who returned to action last week from an Achilles injury in last season’s Super Bowl, will be limited at practice, Shanahan said. Greenlaw left the game against the Rams in the third quarter with soreness in that area and his knee. All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa (hip/oblique) also will be a limited participant.

Holdout OT Trent Williams reports, new contract expected

Posted on | by Field Level Media

All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams reported to the San Francisco 49ers and is expected to sign an adjusted contract, ending a protracted holdout in time to take the field Monday night against the New York Jets for the start of the regular season.

Williams’ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, shared the news of his arrival in Santa Clara, Calif., at the 49ers’ headquarters to “sign a new contract” on Tuesday morning. Financial details were not immediately available.

An end to the standoff comes days after the team reached a four-year, $120 million contract agreement with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk reported to training camp to avoid accruing daily fines permitted under terms of the CBA, but staged a “hold in,” refusing to participate in practices and on-field work to avoid the risk of injury.

A first-team All-Pro each of the past three seasons, Williams made it clear to the 49ers he wasn’t suiting up for San Francisco without an adjustment to his existing contract. He was entering the fourth season of a six-year, $138.06 million deal and due $74.76 million the next three seasons. But none of the salary in the second half of his contract was guaranteed, prompting the 36-year-old Williams to stay home at the start of training camp.

Williams plays a vital role at left tackle, protecting the blindside of quarterback Brock Purdy and using his power to blast open running lanes for running back Christian McCaffrey.

Before reporting Tuesday, Williams was due to carry a cap figure of $31.6 million for 2024.

He was placed on the Did Not Report list by the 49ers on July 25. The 49ers will need to make a corresponding roster move to add Williams back to the roster move before Monday’s game.

Williams, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, is entering his fifth season with San Francisco, which gave up third- and fifth-round picks to acquire him from Washington.

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection in nine campaigns with Washington, Williams sat out the entire 2019 season as part of a dispute with Washington over the handling of his health and injury issues, including a rare form of cancer, and his contract.

Reports: LT Trent Williams not reporting to 49ers without contract concessions

Posted on | by Field Level Media

There are no plans for left tackle Trent Williams to reunite with the 49ers for the first time since the Super Bowl unless they agree to adjust his contract, according to multiple reports.

Williams remains a holdout 14 days before San Francisco is scheduled to host the New York Jets on “Monday Night Football” to wrap Week 1 of the regular season.

At issue is the lack of guaranteed money remaining on Williams’ contract.

He was placed on the Did Not Report list by the 49ers on July 25 but the team is facing a roster decision before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, when all 32 NFL teams are required to reduce their 90-man training camp rosters to 53.

Williams, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, is owed $74.76 million over the next three seasons. None of that sum is guaranteed.

Williams cleared the midway point of six-year, $138.06 million deal and is entering the fourth year of the agreement.

“It’s something I knew could be a possibility, and I was hoping that he would be here,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said of Williams last month. “But I knew it could be a possibility, and I feel pretty confident that it will all work out in the long run and he’ll be here, and we’ll get on the same page with everything. It’s just one day of practice, and I think Trent will be all right missing a few practices.”

Shanahan said last week he hoped a deal with Williams was getting close.

Williams was a first-team All-Pro in each of the past three seasons. The 36-year-old is entering his fifth season with San Francisco, which gave up third- and fifth-round picks to acquire him from Washington.

A seven-time Pro Bowl selection in nine campaigns with Washington, Williams sat out the entire 2019 season as part of a dispute with Washington over the handling of his health and injury issues, including a rare form of cancer, and his contract.

Williams has a cap figure of $31.6 million for 2024. He is stated to earn $20.05 million this season as well as $750,000 more in game-day roster bonuses.

Under terms of the existing contract, he’s due $22.5 million next season and $32.21 million in 2026.

Report: 49ers sign OT Chris Hubbard

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The San Francisco 49ers added depth to their offensive line by signing tackle Chris Hubbard to a one-year, $1.375 million contract, NFL Network reported Tuesday morning.

Hubbard, 33, started all nine games in which he played with the Tennessee Titans last season. He has played in 94 career games (58 starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Titans.

The 49ers feature 11-time Pro Bowl selection Trent Williams, 35, at left tackle and Colton McKivitz, 27, at right tackle.

49ers coach: There’s more to OT Trent Williams’ ankle injury

Posted on | by Field Level Media

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams missed his seventh consecutive practice on Wednesday due to what has been reported as a low-ankle sprain.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that there’s more to the injury.

“Yeah, I think obviously there is,” Shanahan told reporters. “I mean, he’s got a lot of history in there with stuff. It didn’t show up as a high or anything like that, but when you’ve had that over your career, there’s a number of things that, with how it’s taken longer than expected to heal, it’s more than a low.”

Williams, 35, was injured against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 15 and finished that game, only to miss the next two contests. The 49ers (5-3), who play the host Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) on Sunday, hope Williams can participate in practice on Thursday.

Jaylon Moore would start in place of Williams for the third straight game.

Left guard Aaron Banks (turf toe) and wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (illness) also didn’t practice Wednesday, while defensive lineman Drake Jackson (knee) was limited and wide receiver Deebo Samuel was a full participant after returning from a hairline fracture in his shoulder earlier this week.

Williams, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection and first-team All-Pro in 2021 and 2022, is in the season of a six-year, $138 million contract through the 2026 season.
