49ers GM John Lynch updates Trent Williams contract situation

49ers GM John Lynch met with Trent Williams and his agent, stating they are on the same page despite a reported struggle to find a contract solution for the 2026 season.

Lynch addressed reports of a contract dispute, noting that Williams "loves being a Niner" and that they are working through "unique circumstances" regarding his age and cap hit.

The star left tackle is set to count for $39 million against the salary cap in 2026, and while the team views him as vital to the offense, Lynch remains hopeful for a resolution.
