Trent Williams Hold Out Officially a PROBLEM for the 49ers
The 49ers are once again dealing with another major contract dispute. This time however, it is with the BEST offensive tackle in the NFL, Trent Williams.
Seemingly coming out of no where, big boy Trent was a no show at the start of 49ers training camp. As the 49ers put on pads for their second block of training camp, we have yet to see any sighting of the All-Pro tackle. HC, Kyle Shanahan addressed the media following the first day of training camp briefly explaining why the best player on the team is a no show.
Of course, there is only one reason Trent Williams is holding out....MONEY. In 2021 he signed a 6-year $138,000,000 extension with the 49ers and is technically under contract through the 2026 season... the problem? No more guaranteed money in his current deal.
As a part of the CBA, vet players not showing up to mandatory training camp are fined FIFTY thousand dollars ($50K) PER DAY. With huge fines, not may players are able to afford that let alone have any real leverage compared to the team.... unless you're the absolute best, which Trent definitely is. As Trent continue to remain quite, the only sighting we have seen of him since training camp started was when he recently got awarded the exclusive #madden25 #99club (99 rating overall). Outside of that we've heard nothing.
Since left tackles don't grow on tree's and more so when your the very best to ever do it... similar to Nick Bosa contract negotiations, Trent has allllll the leverage... and with the 49ers being ALL IN this year with the last year of QB, Brock Purdy on a rookie deal, the 49ers cannot afford to have Trent sit out much longer.
The 49ers need Trent, more than Trent needs the 49ers which is what I'll be discussing in the episode!
