49ers Send New Offer to Trent Williams as Talks Target Pre-Draft Resolution

The proposal gauges how far San Francisco will go to cut a swollen 2026 cap charge without overcommitting to a 38-year-old cornerstone.

Overview

  • San Francisco’s revised proposal, disclosed Monday by multiple outlets, offers about $36 million guaranteed including $24 million in 2026.
  • Talks remain unresolved, and GM John Lynch voiced cautious optimism at the NFL meetings that both sides are in good communication.
  • Declining a $10 million option in March pushed Williams’ 2026 cap hit to roughly $46–47 million, which heightens pressure to restructure.
  • If negotiations stall, reporters say a trade is possible, though parting ways before June 1 would leave about $34 million in dead money.
  • The 49ers are lining up fallback plans for the draft next week, including interviews with multiple offensive linemen and a potential early tackle pick.
