Veteran LT Trent Williams: New Contract ‘Probably’ My Last in NFL

When asked what was on his mind as he considered his future, he said he was torn between playing until the wheels fell off and leaving on his own terms.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams is ready to ride off into the sunset.

The 37-year-old bookend signed a two-year deal in free agency that keeps him on the payroll through the 2027 season. But speaking to reporters at OTAs on Thursday, Williams said that the contract will likely be his last. Though he did not absolutely rule out playing beyond then, he said he wants to be there for his family as they grow up.
