Trent Williams DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (stinger) left the Week 3 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals with a stinger injury. The 49ers announced that Williams is questionable to return. Offensive lineman Vederian Lowe entered the lineup in Williams' place. Williams left the game in the third quarter and was carted to the locker room. The 49ers also saw wide receiver Mike Evans (rib) leave the game with an injury to his ribs. Evans was ruled out for the game.

Three-time first-team All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a two-year, $50 million extension that will keep him under contract through the 2027 season. Making 18 starts across the 2025 regular season and playoffs, all at 37 years old, Williams was still one of the most dominant blockers in the league, finishing the year with his twelfth Pro Bowl selection while being named a second-team All-Pro. The deal does not necessarily preclude San Francisco from using an early pick at the position in this week's NFL Draft, as Williams will turn 38 before the start of his 16th professional season, and the depth behind him is serviceable but thin.

A contract extension for San Francisco 49ers All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams could be imminent, according to general manager John Lynch. "I would say in the last week, it's kind of intensified," Lynch said at the NFL owners' meetings. "And feel like we're on the precipice of something good happening." There were several reports in the last month that the 49ers could end up trading or releasing Williams if they couldn't agree to terms on a new deal. Lynch hasn't qualified the negotiations with Williams' camp as contentious at all, but said the situation required "nuance" because of his age (37). Despite his age, the former first-rounder (fourth overall) by Washington in 2010 out of Oklahoma has been a 12-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro in his 15 years in the league. Williams is still a high-end left tackle, so locking him up for what will likely be his final contract in the NFL will be a big boost for quarterback Brock Purdy and the rest of head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense.
