Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports San Francisco 49ers All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams is a training-camp holdout due to contract issues, coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday.
Williams, an 11-time Pro Bowl selection, is owed $74.76 million over the next three seasons but none of the money is guaranteed. He is entering the fourth season of a six-year, $138.06 million deal.
"It's something I knew could be a possibility, and I was hoping that he would be here," Shanahan said of Williams. "But I knew it could be a possibility, and I feel pretty confident that it will all work out in the long run and he'll be here, and we'll get on the same page with everything. It's just one day of practice, and I think Trent will be alright missing a few practices."
Williams was first-team All-Pro in each of the past three seasons. The 36-year-old is entering his fifth season with San Francisco after playing his first nine campaigns with Washington.
Williams is stated to earn $20.05 million this season as well as $750,000 more in game-day roster bonuses.
He will make $22.5 million next season and $32.21 million in 2026.
Williams' average annual salary of $23.010 million is fourth highest among NFL left tackles. He moved down a spot Tuesday when Christian Darrisaw of the Minnesota Vikings signed a four-year, $113 million extension that will average a tackle-record $28.25 million a season.
Shanahan didn't want to have a deep discussion about the contract situation.
"A lot of things play into it but I'm not going to get into the personal parts of the contract," Shanahan said.
