49ers Trade For Trent Williams
5 years agoThe Washington Redskins agreed to terms on a trade of left tackle Trent Williams to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday. The Niners will get help at a position of need and will send the Redskins a fifth-round pick this year and a third-rounder in 2021. With Joe Staley yet to declare his status for 2020, the 49ers are acting now and grabbing a perennial Pro Bowl tackle in Williams. Williams did not play at all in 2019, but he can step in right away in San Francisco if Staley retires and protect quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo's blind side. The Redskins waited a while to get this Williams trade done, but it comes just before Day 3 of the NFL draft. Head coach Kyle Shanahan was in D.C. when the 'Skins drafted Williams.
