The San Francisco 49ers will have a decision to make next offseason surrounding offensive tackle Trent Willams, whom the team traded for during April's draft. He is playing on the final year of his deal and is scheduled to make about $12.5 million in 2020. If the offensive lineman plays well, which is very likely, that number will only go up, and San Francisco will have to use a large chunk of the salary cap to keep him.
Williams did not play in 2019, so he lost out on a lot of money. His new team, likely as a gesture of good faith, helped him out with that. The team restructured the final year of his deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, not to find some salary-cap savings in 2020, but to give Williams some upfront money.
Rapoport spoke with Williams this week for his
RapSheet and Friends podcast, which will be released next week.
"One thing that
Trent Williams told me during this interview is that he did get an agreement on a restructured final year of his contract," Rapoport said on NFL Network. "He's due to make $12.5 million. He's still going to make about that sum, but the 49ers put some of this money upfront. A little help for a guy, remember, (who) didn't make anything in 2019."
Williams is preparing to play in his 10th NFL Season after missing all of last season with Washington. The 49ers on April 25 surrendered a fifth-round pick in this year's draft and a third-rounder next year to acquire Williams.
Williams told Rapoport that he was ready to play last season before Washington placed him on the non-football injury list. There was speculation that the tackle used the discomfort with his helmet as an excuse not to play for Washington, which Williams denies.
"It was almost impossible for me to fight the urge to get back on the field," Williams told Rapoport during the interview. "I was literally waiting on my new helmet to come in. I was getting ready to kind of gear up. It was going to be somewhat of a surprise to some, but I think for the people who know me best, they kind of know how competitive I am."

This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations.

Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his

Could the 49ers trade up in the draft for a top tackle?
The San Francisco 49ers are likely hoping that a top offensive lineman drops to them at No. 31 in the first round of this month's draft. Fans would like to see the team add someone to compete with Colton McKivitz for the right tackle spot and potentially take over for Trent Williams when the future Hall of Famer decides to retire.
Having two studs bookending the offensive line would go a long way in protecting franchise quarterback Brock Purdy. While tackle may be the first-round target, depending on how the first 30 selections play out, San Francisco might have to trade up to get a genuinely impactful
