"It's something I knew could be a possibility,
and I was hoping that he would be here," Shanahan said of
Williams. "But I knew it could be a possibility, and I feel
pretty confident that it will all work out in the long run and
he'll be here, and we'll get on the same page with everything.
It's just one day of practice, and I think Trent will be alright
missing a few practices."
Williams was first-team All-Pro in each of the past three
seasons. The 36-year-old is entering his fifth season with San
Francisco after playing his first nine campaigns with
Washington.
Williams is stated to earn $20.05 million this season as well as
$750,000 more in game-day roster bonuses.
He will make $22.5 million next season and $32.21 million in
2026.
Williams' average annual salary of $23.010 million is fourth
highest among NFL left tackles. He moved down a spot Tuesday
when Christian Darrisaw of the Minnesota Vikings signed a
four-year, $113 million extension that will average a
tackle-record $28.25 million a season.
Shanahan didn't want to have a deep discussion about the
contract situation.
"A lot of things play into it but I'm not going to get into the
personal parts of the contract," Shanahan said.
