Pro Bowl guard Trent Williams signed a restructured deal with San Francisco 49ers over the weekend. According to reports, the deal ensures that Williams receives half of his $12.5 million salary for 2020 in advance while also guaranteeing it.

Williams joined the 49ers from Washington Redskins in an offseason trade. The 31-year-old guard came with one year left on his contract that had no guaranteed money left. The restructure takes care of this problem while setting a good note for the two sides ahead of impending negotiations about a long-term deal.

Williams himself confirmed the news on his social media.

Trent Williams missed the entire 2019 season after he publicly demanded a trade from the Redskins. Williams said at the time that the team’s medical staff misdiagnosed a growth on his head, which turned out to be a tumor, and that he couldn’t trust the organization anymore.

Redskins refused to trade Williams last year but caved in after key changes in the front office and coaching staff. They ended up making a deal with San Francisco, receiving a 2021 third-rounder and a 2020 fifth-rounder in exchange.

Williams, who was the fourth overall pick in 2010, played 120 games with Washington since entering the league. He made the Pro Bowl seven times while also receiving Second-Team All-Pro honors in 2015.

Washington Redskins’ Trent Williams hasn’t played a single game in 2019 due to conflict with the organization and he seemed determined to leave the franchise as soon as possible. However, after Redskins went through an overhauled and hired Ron Rivera as their new coach, they are willing to try and make amends with their star tackle.

Rivera recently had an interview with Larry Michael of Redskins Nation, during which he said that he would love to have Williams on his team in 2020.

“We got to get Trent in, we got to sit him down, see where he is, see how he is, healthwise too. We have not really had the contact we need to have to know,” said Rivera.

Williams decided to hold out at the beginning of the 2019 NFL season after he was misdiagnosed by Redskins’ medical staff. The 31-year-old demanded to be traded, something that Redskins strongly opposed at the time. After failing to force his way out of Washington, Williams reported to the team but he didn’t return to action. Instead, he ended up being placed on the non-football injury list and remained away from the team for the rest of the season.

All of this, however, doesn’t seem to bother Rivera all that much as he is determined to have his best players available to him as he attempts to change Redskins’ bad luck.

“He’s still our guy,” Rivera added.

Trent Williams has been with the Redskins his entire career, making his NFL debut in 2010. Since then, Williams played 120 games, made it to Pro Bowl seven consecutive times, and earned Second-team All-Pro honors in 2015.
