All Pro OT Trent Williams "Silverback", | Page 216

49ers OT Trent Williams is officially a free agent—as we mentioned in the column this morning, I've heard San Francisco is willing to go to $20 million per for him.

The Chiefs and Colts are two contenders with holes at left tackle, and money to spend.

I don't think there is any chance he chooses to sign somewhere else for less money. More money? Yes, but not for less money.
Why would he not sign with kc... they are closer to winning a super bowl that we are.. all the time. we are lectured to that free agents will sign here for less money to play for kyle and cuz we supposedly have a shot to make the super bowl. as we saw,. we were a one year wonder. kc is there for the long haul. and kc is a cheap place and cheap state to live in compared to california. the niners for once in their life. better have a plan to replace trent,. if he goes.. with someone as good or better than him.. our history is littered with examples of letting good people go with no plan or a poor plan to replace said person

I never said he would sign cheaper with the Niners. Just seems unlikely he will choose to go somewhere else for less money. Unless he doesn't really want to live in the bay. He knows this playbook and works well in it. He has already gelled in the lockerroom. It's not like we are not a good football team. I don't think he would leave somewhere else for cheaper if last season he liked being here. Which I haven't heard anything to suggest that he didn't.

The Chiefs can basically guarantee him multiple Super Bowl rings over the next few years (or at least as close to a guarantee as it gets in the NFL). How do we compete with that if the money is essentially the same?

Are they guaranteeing it like their fans guaranteed a repeat this past season?

if there is one or two places. players would jump ship in a minute would be tampa and kc,. in my opinion. maybe trent thinks kc can win sooner rather than later as compared to our team
