Trent Williams has 1 year, $33M remaining on his contract, including a $10M option to be decided on by April 1st. An outright release would leave behind $34.15M of dead cap to the #49ers ($4.7M saved).

One alternative solution could include Williams agreeing to lower his $22M base salary down to a minimum $1.3M. This would allow the #Niners to designate him a Post 6/1 release this March, keeping a $17.9M cap hit on the books into June, then taking on dead cap hits of $13.3M for 2026, $20.8M for 2027.
