49ers GM Lynch updates Trent Williams contract situation

Lynch met with Williams and agent Vincent Taylor recently. He emphasized that Williams "loves being a Niner" and that the team shares that sentiment. Despite the $39 million cap hit in 2026 and Williams' age (38), Lynch expressed positive feelings about finding a solution to the "unique circumstances" surrounding the deal.

Analysts note Williams is critical to the offense's success. While Lynch remains optimistic, the team may need to begin scouting a replacement sooner rather than later to ensure continuity.
