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.

Trent Williams is staying with Washington Redskins, at least until the end of 2019 NFL Season. According to multiple reports, Williams ended his season-long holdout on Tuesday and has reported to the team facilities.

Discontent with the team’s medical and wanting a new deal, Williams held out for the entire offseason and the first eight weeks of the regular season. He asked the team to trade him, vowing to never play for Redskins again.

Washington refused to go along with Williams’ wishes for the better part of the season and only started to take trade calls for the player several days before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. A handful of teams were interested, including Cleveland Browns, but neither wanted to meet the high asking price. Redskins reportedly wanted a first-round pick.

After seeing he won’t be traded this season, Trent Williams decided to end his holdout in order for this year to count against his contract. The NFL rules require a player to be active for at least six regular-season games in order to have an accrued season. If Williams decided to stay away the whole year, he would still have two years left on his deal. This way, he can hit the free agency in 2021.

There is a big chance, however, that Williams will be out of Washington long before that. He will be a highly sought player in the offseason, and there is a big possibility that Redskins will lower their demands rather than have a discontent player on their team for another year.

Pro Bowl offensive tackle Trent Williams remains set on leaving Washington, but Redskins don’t intend to fulfill him this wish any time soon.

According to NBC Sports Washington, three NFL teams engaged in active pursue in recent days and are trying to convince Redskins to part way with the player. Reportedly, reigning Super Bowl champions New England Patriots are one of those three teams.

However, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Washington was unmoved by the calls and inquiries and are set on keeping their franchise cornerstone.

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, on the other hand, claims that the trade is going to happen and that it’s just “matter of time” before Williams leaves.

Trent Williams skipped all the team’s voluntary offseason activities and failed to report for mandatory mini-camp in spring and now the training camp. Sources close to the situation reported that Williams’ holdout isn’t about him forcing a new contract. Instead, the 31-year-old has issues with Washington Redskins’ coaches and medical staff who failed to diagnose a growth on his head that turned out to be a benign tumor.

While reports say that Williams doesn’t have the intention to play as a Redskin anymore, Washington obviously intends to try and mend their relationship with the player. If that doesn’t work out, however, trade is imminent and they could end up commanding a monster haul for him.
