49ers News: Report: "Trent Williams' Contract Issues Could Lead to Missed Games"

Trent Williams , the standout left tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, is facing a potential absence from games if his contract demands are not addressed.

After missing training camp, Williams has made it clear that he is dissatisfied with the current terms of his deal, particularly regarding guaranteed money.

The 49ers recently wrapped up negotiations with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, and now all eyes are on Williams.

Reports indicate that the situation is serious, with Williams considering missing games as a negotiating tactic. He has earned significant money throughout his career but currently has no guaranteed money left on his contract.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler had some knowledge of the situation between the 49ers and and their Pro Bowl left tackle and shared it on Friday’s NFL Live .

Per Fowler, Williams missing games is a very real threat. This is the entirety of what he said, “The 49ers have work to do, I’m told Trent Williams is not happy and the threat of him missing games is real. A lot of times that’s a negotiating pull, I don’t sense it is right now. He’s made $150 million dollars in his career.

"He’s got no guaranteed money left on his deal. He’s the fourth-highest paid left tackle right now despite being the best the last few years and he feels like this could have been addressed a lot earlier and San Francisco sort of balked on it. He’s going to make them wait even longer.

"They have had some talks, nothing had heated up as of last night and this morning [Thursday Night/Friday Morning] but the 49ers have a couple days here before they officially start Week 1 on Monday, they are hopeful to make some progress. “

Despite being one of the top left tackles in the league, he feels his concerns have not been adequately addressed by the team.

General Manager John Lynch has expressed hope for a resolution soon, as the 49ers prepare for the upcoming season.

The team is eager to resolve this issue and eliminate any distractions as they aim for a successful campaign, including a return to the Super Bowl. The clock is ticking, and the 49ers are working against the deadline as they gear up to face the New York Jets in their season opener.
