Overview
- Kansas City, which multiple outlets reported Tuesday is “ready to pounce” if San Francisco cannot reach a deal with Trent Williams, is tracking the All-Pro left tackle.
- The 49ers are negotiating a new contract with Williams with no resolution yet, and team signals point to keeping him in place.
- If Williams stays put, reports say the Chiefs could pivot to free agent Taylor Decker, who secured a release from Detroit and wants a contender.
- First-round pick Josh Simmons missed games for a personal matter in 2025 and then had season-ending wrist surgery, leaving Kansas City eyeing veteran help at tackle.
- Recent pressure on Mahomes, including 36 sacks in 2024 and 34 in 2025, underscores the push for a proven pass protector.
