Trent Williams

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said “we’re negotiating hard” with LT Trent Williams on a new contract.

Williams has been holding out for a new contract heading into this season. The 36-year-old has three years left on his deal, but has no guaranteed money left. As one of the top tackles in the league, Williams will be tough to replace if the 49ers cannot reach an agreement on a new contract for him. Shanahan said he has had “some contact” with Williams and that “hopefully it’s getting close.” The 49ers are also continuing to hash out a contract with WR Brandon Aiyuk, on which Shanahan said he has no new updates.
