NEWS FLASH! If Trent Williams really was as awesome and great as many of you think he is, the team would have locked him up to a nice cap-friendly deal right now. I mean right this moment.
But, as of this date, TW remains unsigned. The 49ers appear ready to let TW test the free agent market. Anyone got a good guess as to why?
Perhaps he's just not that good? Perhaps a cheaper option can be found in the draft? Perhaps the plan is to slide McGlinchey over to that spot and draft another tacke to man the right side of the line?
Many questions...
Did you read up on why he didn't sign the first offer ?
I read what HE said. There's been no comment from ShannyLynch. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Radio Silence. Muted. Reserved.
Doesn't anyone else find that to be remotely interesting?
And, yes, I've read what the pundits and fans have to say. PFF has him rated as best yada, yada, yada.
Yet the inescapable truth remains. TW is unsigned.
Now, when it comes to matters like this I am often WRONG. Remember that. Very rarely do I ever hit the nail on the head. Most of the time I wind up striking my thumb. Ouch.
This org is tight lipped, so not hearing anything doesn't mean anything. All we know is that there was an offer and it wasn't accepted.
Sounds like we don't sign him 
So because he rejected our initial offer, he won't sign? Kittle rejected our initial offers, and still signed a new deal, he could have went the whole play out rookie deal, get tagged twice, and be a FA within 3yrs, but he didn't, rejecting an initial offer doesn't mean he won't re-sign.
Kittle didn't test the market either, like Williams is doing
Can't blame him for testing the market either. The way I see it, there are two ways to earn top dollar in the NFL.
1. Stay with the team that drafted you and play at a high level year in and year out. Become the best at your position. Show love to the team that drafted you and the fan base. It won't always result in a great offer from the home team, but it can pay off. It can also backfire and result in a trade (Buckner).
2. Sell yourself and your skills to the highest bidder. Period. The only loyalty is to your bank account.
