Niners LT Trent Williams on goal of playing till he’s 40: ‘Not going to retire with something left on the table’

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for the new season with notable changes following their lackluster 2024 performance. However, veteran left tackle Trent Williams, a pivotal player for the team, plans to extend his NFL career until 40, health permitting. Despite being sidelined by injury in 2024, Williams remains one of the league's top offensive linemen, earning high performance grades and maintaining a strong presence on the field. As he enters his 37th season, Williams is focused on contributing to the 49ers' goals and isn't concerned with retirement plans, staying committed through his current contract that lasts until 2026. His leadership remains crucial for the team's aspirations, and when the time comes for him to retire, the 49ers will face the challenge of replacing a key figure in their offense.
