When do you think that the Williams deal will either be accepted or rejected?

Go get DL/CB/OL help in FA. That's where they should be focusing on.

Everybody wants to play WR nowadays. So many WR's to choose from in every draft it seems. Signing one in FA would be ludicrous

Don't count out the Jets (Saleh / LaFleur / Benton connections), Colts (Ballard has done an amazing job, plenty of cap space) and Cowboys (Williams is a TX native, and the Boys always have a way to navigate through tough cap crises).

The Jets are the biggest threat IMO. Sign T. Williams, move Becton to RT, and slide Fant to G. They can cut Van Roten and Lewis to mitigate a good chunk of T. Williams's contract.

From there, Jets will be major players for 49ers FAs like K. Williams (NB), D. Jones (NT), and K. Bourne (WR). And even with those signings, they can be major players for Allen Robinson, Trey Hendrickson, Aaron Jones, and/or S. Griffin.

They will likely pick Wilson at #2 and trade Darnold, but with their next several picks they can address needs at LB, EDGE, WR, and TE.

Simply put, the Jets could be a rags to riches story with Saleh at the helm. Saleh can build a great culture and overpay for T. Williams beyond what SF can afford.

If the jets do this again overpaying big name free agents then the new regime won't last long, they need to follow the 49ers pats and others who draft to build and use free agency to supplement, colts have been doing this under Ballard, I don't see them shelling out big bucks for a LT IMO,

It's possible to sign all 5 of the FAs(Trent, Juice, Hyder, Verrett & K'Waun) to deals I have them pegged at in my offseason outlook, https://49erscap.com/index.php/2021-offseason-plan/, also right now, the 49ers have the 9th most cap room on a $180.5M cap, this is according to OTCs cap space page(https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/) just hit the effective cap room tab to re-order it.

Right now this is how it looks.

Jags - $85.243M (Don't see Trent going here if he's true to his word about not wanting to go to a rebuilding team)
Jets - $77.057M (Same as the Jags, plus the Jets drafted Bechton last yr)
Pats - $66.52M (The Pats never spend in FA, they've let just about every big name OL go, Brown, Solder, and likely Thuney, who will get OT money as a OG)
Colts - $44.681M (Possible, but does Trent like the idea of Wentz over Jimmy? Plus rumors are they may move Nelson to LT)
Broncos - $43.758M (Already have their T duo signed, Bolles & James)
WFT - $40.29M (No way he goes back to that organization after the way he was treated)
Bengals - $38.916M (Another rebuild, I think they also have a young LT they drafted, Jonah Williams)
Panthers - $29.541M (No way Trent goes here IMO, unless they somehow get Watson, which I don't see a Watson trade happening before the draft)
49ers - $23.509M (We're the favorites IMO, he loves the Shanahan's, and he genuinely looked liked he loved being a 49er in 2020)
Chargers - $23.349M (Yes they have a young QB, stud one, but they also have a ton of FAs they need to retain)
Dolphins - $22.958M (Same as the Panthers, unless they get Watson)
Browns - $20.786M (They just drafted Jedrick Willis in 2020)
Cowboys - $20.254M (They have Tyron Smith & La'el Collins at T, plus most of their cap room will go to Dak)
Ravens - $18.234M (Possible if they really do deal Orlando Brown, he's a guy I'd consider trading for if we lost Trent, but Ravens have FAs to retain)
Cards - $16.828M (Doesn't include Watt's contract, plus they have DJ Humphries signed)
Texans - $16.776M (Nope, they already have 2 Tackles they love, Tunsil & the kid they drafted in 2019 1st rd)
Bucs - $8.023M (Nope, they have Chris Godwin as a UFA)
Titans - $6.447M (Maybe, but they don't have the cap room, they drated the Isaiah Wilson kid, and now want to deal him cause I guess he's a headache)
Giants - $6.064M (Solder is signed)
Raiders - $3.914M (They're more in rebuild mode IMO, they're talking of cutting Trent Brown)
Steelers - $3.617M (Villanueva is unsigned, but they have Bud Dupree & JuJu as UFAs)
Seahawks - $2.595M (No, they have to extend Jamal Adams)
Bills - $1.902M (I think they have their Tackles signed)

The teams over the cap now.

Vikes - $4.009M (He rejected a deal to Minny last April, they have Reiff & O'Neill, they may cut Reiff)
Lions - $6.323M (Doubtful)
Bears - $6.98M (Doubtful)
Packers - $11.426M (Have Backhtiari signed)
Chiefs - $22.834M (Not likely, they never sign big name FAs, I forget their own FAs)
Falcons - $27.481M (Nope, plus they have Jake Matthews, and they drafted a T in 2019)
Rams - $35.066M (Nope, they don't have cap room, they probably won't make any big moves, Stafford was their big move IMO)
Eagles - $43.036M (Nope, way way over the cap)
Saints - $61.998M (No, they have Ramcyzk, plus way over the cap)

So in conclusion, I think he returns to the 49ers. If they offer him between $18M-$22M a yr, with close to $50M fully GTD, $66M+ total GTD, he's a 49er IMO.

Nice work cobber

Yeah I heard the niners offered Trent Williams 18 million a year and he turned them down and he might be looking for 23 or 24 million a year so hopefully they can compromise and meet in the middle on like 21.5 or 22 million a year.

Good stuff AB . Lord knows before the news about our expected cap $23.509M space I was out on us being able to extend Trent without jeopardizing our ability to extend Juice, Verrett, and K'Waun. I just didn't think we could afford the bidding war for him. Now, I'm confident we can extend all of our key UFA's, and a few key rotational players like Blair, Jorden Reed, or even Thomas.
I like Juice, but 6-7 million a year is more than double the next highest paid FB. I would focus much more on bringing back T. Williams+Verrett+Hyder than any of the other FA's. All 3 of those guys play very KEY positions and are good at them. Once we have those 3 locked up, I would see where we are cap wise, but I would look for a K. Williams+Juice+Tartt+Sherman replacements in the draft. Woerner might already be an in house replacement for Juice, plus we could look to grab someone in the draft to help fill that role as well. If we don't go QB in round 1, then we need to be drafting a CB+Edge+IOL with our first 3 picks, after that it's safety ,and then BPA like a WR/PR/KR type, or RB.

Agree with both. I think around 20+ apy would be his price. We shall see.

And we are going to use the money in cutting Richburgs ass to sign Mack
Yo, you all realize we now have the 9th MOST cap space now right? With so many teams cutting quality players right now, we should be in prime position to not only resign our own (TW, Verrett, K'Waun and Juice) but possibly bring in at least 1 quality C/G and/or ER/CB and then feast on the pool of quality players that are still available well after the opening of free agency at reduced rates. Oversaturated positions like S and DL should be nice again.

Yeah, we should be in the market for a solid FA or two.

Prior to this, it was looking like another Zane Beadles or Tom Compton free agency. Not anymore.

We're about to see how serious they are about winning a Superbowl. They have a legit chance to be a top 3 team in talent on the field and #1 in depth.

Respectfully disagree. Why do they "need" to do that?

Candidly, the Pats way is not viable (draft a 6th round HOF player) and the 49ers made their fair share of mistakes (Shanahan has 1 winning season - Saleh has seen what works and what doesn't).

If you have a rookie QB contract, you can be aggressive to add pieces. Chiefs and Bills are great examples.

Truth.

it's a no-excuse position for all scenarios; they can improve protection significantly and trade up if their targeted QB should fall some in the draft.

Absolutely. And even if they don't move up to get their QB, they have an option to build up the rest of the team at critical positions like OL, ER and CB.

We're also about to see a number of ER and OL hit free agency like never before.

Only a handful of teams will be in position to buy. And we're one of them.

Are they staying with their moneyball principles (letting TW get away) or are they more serious about building a Championship roster?

They've been mid-tier from day 1.
