Trent Williams ends contract dispute with Niners on eve of NFL opener
- All-Pro skipped pre-season while seeking new contract
- 49ers open season against the Jets in six days
All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams has ended his contract holdout and reported to the San Francisco 49ers to finalize a new deal.
Williams’ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, posted on social media on Tuesday that Williams was set to rejoin the team six days before the season opener against the New York Jets.
Williams had been back home in Texas for all of training camp while seeking a new deal, accumulating more than $5m in mandatory fines for missing camp and three pre-season games.
But he is now set to get a new contract, with the 49ers resolving both of their major contract disputes before the season opener. San Francisco signed star receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a four-year, $120m extension last week, ending his contract “hold in.”
The moves mean the Niners will have nearly every significant player from last season’s standout offense back to start the 2024 season. The only players missing who played at least 200 snaps on offense last season are fill-in guard Jon Feliciano, backup tight end Charlie Woerner and No 4 receiver Ray-Ray McCloud.
