Trent Williams is scheduled to earn roughly $20 million this season. I'm guessing he wants the 49ers to give him a $10 million raise so he can be the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL this year.
He's 36. He's a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. And he has earned more than $170 million in his career. He doesn't need to play football anymore. He's set for nine lives.
That's why his current hold out should come as no surprise. He doesn't seem like he wants to participate in training camp, anyway. Having a financial reason to skip it is convenient.
