Still no sign or new updates on a new contract between thee 49ers and Trent Williams. Why is it taking so long to give the best left tackle in football what he deserves?
Reports of "whispers" that Williams eventually wants a new deal from the 49ers were out there during that time. Sure enough,It makes sense for Williams to seek out a new deal from the 49ers. For starters, he just saw the team do so with Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings. Now he is seeing other offensive tackles like Christian Darrisaw of the Minnesota Vikings ink a new deal that puts him as one of the highest paid at the position.
I think the hold up stems from Williams' side. He is possibly trying to get an actual extension from the 49ers. His current deal has him playing three more years with the 49ers. He'll be 38 years old at the end of it. It makes sense for Williams, who shows no signs of slowing down, to coerce the 49ers into giving him an extra year or two on a new contract.
There is also the battle against father time. It is undefeated and will pop up at any time. The 49ers should definitely not give into an extra year on Williams' current deal, but should give him a pay raise and reinstall guarantees onto the remainder of his deal. He doesn't have any left, so he could be expendable down the line.
