Trent Williams is the future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Even at 36 years old, he’s still in his prime. Yet he sat out the entire offseason and started practicing this week. But what is the reason for it? This might be a reason offensive tackle, Trent might not play the San Francisco 49ers vs the New York Jets, on Monday.

Everyone wants to know about what is going on within the team. On September 6th, Dianna Russini a well-known Sports Reporter made a post explaining what was going on with Trent Williams’ holdout drama. She also mentioned the latest on #Jets Haason Reddick, the illegal formation flag frenzy, a unique approach for #Titans Will Levis, a hole in Miami’s defense. But this left fans curious about the Trent Williams contract situation. 

Having Williams on the field is very important for 49ers. He is an expert in his pass-blocking abilities, power, and agility. And most important has been a key member of the 49ers’ offensive line. We have all seen Williams’ fantastic performance in the 2023 NFL season. He was called one of the best left tackles in the league. 

Trent played 16 games throughout the season and had a PFF grade of 94.1. Williams played 1,042 offensive snaps, showing his strength and importance to the 49ers’ offensive line. And if that’s not enough, Trent has made it to the eleven Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams. And just like in 2023, he was known as the best offensive lineman in the 2021 regular season, 

And even after his wonderful skills, no one knows what the team will decide. However, the latest update about his and HC Kyle Shanahan’s conversation gives hope for his presence. 

How did HC Kyle Shanahan end Trent Williams’ contract holdout?

After months of holding out for another contract, Trent Williams got a call from 49ers coach Shanahan. This happened only 8 days before 49eres’ 2024 season opener. According to reporter Russini’s column in The Athletic, Shanahan called William and told him “We need you,” asking for his presence on the field. 

But Williams made it clear he wasn’t backing down. Even if the fines for skipping camp piled up. He said the only way the team can take him on the field is on a stretcher. Tackle also added, “I am fully committed to giving you all of my physical and mental being if you can provide the security I need off the field for my family.” After this conversation, the team and Trent have agreed on a three-year, $82.66 million contract, with up to $48 million guaranteed.

And now the team has their key player back and Williams got the stability he wanted. So there are chances he might play the game. What are your thoughts on this?
