    Reports: LT Trent Williams not reporting to 49ers without contract concessions

    There are no plans for left tackle Trent Williams to reunite with the 49ers for the first time since the Super Bowl unless they agree to adjust his contract, according to multiple reports. Williams remains a holdout 14 days before San Francisco is scheduled to host the New York Jets on "Monday Night Football" to wrap Week 1 of the regular season. At issue is the lack of guaranteed money remaining on Williams' contract. He was placed on the Did Not Report list by the 49ers on July 25 but the team is facing a roster decision before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, when all 32 NFL teams are required to reduce their 90-man training camp rosters to 53. Williams, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, is owed $74.76 million over the next three seasons. None of that sum is guaranteed. Williams cleared the midway point of six-year, $138.06 million deal and is entering the fourth year of the agreement. "It's something I knew could be a possibility, and I was hoping that he would be here," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said of Williams last month. "But I knew it could be a possibility, and I feel pretty confident that it will all work out in the long run and he'll be here, and we'll get on the same page with everything. It's just one day of practice, and I think Trent will be all right missing a few practices." Shanahan said last week he hoped a deal with Williams was getting close. Williams was a first-team All-Pro in each of the past three seasons. The 36-year-old is entering his fifth season with San Francisco, which gave up third- and fifth-round picks to acquire him from Washington. A seven-time Pro Bowl selection in nine campaigns with Washington, Williams sat out the entire 2019 season as part of a dispute with Washington over the handling of his health and injury issues, including a rare form of cancer, and his contract. Williams has a cap figure of $31.6 million for 2024. He is stated to earn $20.05 million this season as well as $750,000 more in game-day roster bonuses. Under terms of the existing contract, he's due $22.5 million next season and $32.21 million in 2026. --Field Level Media
