Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington reported on Friday that the San Francisco 49ers are interested in trading for Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams.

John Keim of ESPN added some more details to that report on Friday night, stating that, due to the 49ers' lack of draft equity this year, the team would need to surrender future picks to get a deal done.


Keim also notes that the Minnesota Vikings were close to a deal with Washington for Williams, but it fell through.

"Other teams remain interested in Williams, including San Francisco," wrote Keim. "But, as has been stated often this week, the 49ers' interest is tied to whether or not Joe Staley retires and creates a void. The Los Angeles Rams could become a team to watch -- if they can create more cap room. Both the Rams (Sean McVay) and 49ers (Kyle Shanahan) have coaches who have worked with Williams."


49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan worked with Williams for four seasons, and was serving as Washington's offensive coordinator when the offensive lineman was drafted in 2010.

Williams, 31, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection.

What is Brandon Staley's role with the 49ers?

By David Bonilla
Mar 26

Following the dismissal of Steve Wilks, Brandon Staley interviewed for the San Francisco 49ers' vacant defensive coordinator job. Opting to go with internal candidate Nick Sorenson allowed the team to maintain continuity while entrusting the defense to a play-caller very familiar with the scheme the 49ers want to deploy. Sorenson previously worked with former defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans and served as an assistant with the Seattle Seahawks, so that familiarity gave him the edge. Where did that leave Staley? The 49ers hired him, too. However, Staley won't serve as the team's defensive coordinator. Right now, he has the title of assistant head coach. He will be heavily involved in game-day planning. Speaking to reporters at the NFL owners

At the start of free agency, the San Francisco 49ers signed defensive end Leonard Floyd to a two-year deal worth $20 million, with $12 million guaranteed. It has been the team's most significant offseason move thus far. OverTheCap.com recently revealed Floyd's contract details.

The San Francisco 49ers are actively working to sign wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to a contract extension, aiming to maintain their talented young core of players. The team has reached agreements with star players during each of the last four offseasons, securing George Kittle in 2020, Fred Warner in 2021, Deebo Samuel in 2022, and Nick Bosa in 2023. Another key contributor poised for a new deal next offseason is quarterback Brock Purdy. Over the last couple of years, the 49ers have been in the unique position of not having to pay much money (relatively) to stock their quarterback room while reaping the benefits of superb play from their starting signal-caller. However,
