49ers’ Williams finalizing deal to end holdout

Left tackle Trent Williams is finalizing a deal with the San Francisco 49ers to end his holdout, Williams’ agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, said Tuesday.

The deal isn’t completed but is close enough for Williams to report to the 49ers for the first time this offseason, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Williams has been absent from team activities and facilities while seeking a new deal.

Williams has been an integral part of San Francisco’s offense since joining the club ahead of the 2020 season. He’s made three consecutive first-team All-Pro teams and earned four straight Pro Bowl nods with the 49ers.

The 36-year-old has played almost every offensive snap across 58 games for San Francisco. Williams didn’t allow a sack last season on 438 pass-blocking snaps and earned an elite 90.1 run-blocking grade, per PFF.

Williams has been one of the NFL’s most consistently dominant offensive linemen since 2012. The 6-foot-5, 320-pounder has made 11 straight Pro Bowls and earned a second-team All-Pro berth in 2015 with Washington.
