The San Francisco 49ers face challenges in negotiating with Trent Williams, who holds significant leverage due to his recent All-Pro performance and the team’s lack of a succession plan for the aging tackle. Releasing Williams would incur a substantial dead-money charge, forcing the 49ers to seek an expensive replacement. Despite potential tensions, both sides appear inclined to reach a resolution that includes more guaranteed money for Williams. Additionally, the 49ers are actively scouting prospects, including edge rushers and defensive players, ahead of the draft.
