2025 Fantasy Outlook
Williams dealt with an ankle injury that landed the All-Pro tackle on injured reserve after 10 games played in 2024. The 37-year-old held out for more money prior to his down year last season, so Williams should be motivated to produce a bounce-back campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a three-year, $82.66 million restructured contract with the 49ers in September of 2024.
GM optimistic about new contract
San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Tuesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that Williams and the team have "had really good, productive and substantive meetings" regarding a contract restructure, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams, who will play out the 2026 season at age 38, continues to bring an elite level of play to the left tackle position, but his current contract with the 49ers has no more guaranteed money included, a $38.8 million cap hit for next year, and three void years beyond that. As such, both sides appear incentivized to agree to a restructure, but the combination of Williams' age and San Francisco's restrictive salary cap complicates things. Back in 2024, Williams held out for more than a month of training camp before inking a massive extension. This offseason, any result other than retaining Williams at LT would represent a tremendous downgrade for the 49ers' O-line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become free agent
Williams and the 49ers are struggling to agree on the terms of a new contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams remains one of the better left tackles in the league despite just completing his age-37 season. However, he's set to carry a $39 million cap hit in 2026, an amount the 49ers apparently find untenable. San Francisco would save roughly $4 million on the cap by cutting Williams prior to June 1, but it would have a significant gap along its offensive line. Meanwhile, Williams would immediately become one of the most coveted free agents on the market.
