San Francisco 49ers have declined to exercise the $10 million option bonus on Trent Williams' contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. This move catapults Williams' salary cap number to nearly $47 million for 2026, a significant increase from the previously projected $38.84 million. While the team is not overly concerned about the cap hit and plans to rework his deal before the draft, the sides have struggled to find common ground during offseason negotiations.

Williams enters 2026 with no guaranteed money beyond his current contract and is slated to turn 38 in July.
