Why The 49ers Declined Trent Williams Option

  • The 49ers declined Trent Williams' $10M option to avoid prorating it over four years and instead let it revert to base salary this year.
  • Brian Peacock says the move raises Williams' 2026 cap to near $47M but signals the team still plans to rework his deal before the draft.
ADVICE

Restructure To Buy Time And Guarantees

  • Restructure Trent Williams' contract to convert salary into guarantees and shift cap hits across years rather than pay more this season.
  • Eric Crocker suggests adding years and guarantees to keep Williams satisfied without increasing 2026 cash pay.
