Trent Williams: It’s an unstable league, I was looking for certainty

Left tackle Trent Williams returned to the 49ers on Tuesday after forgoing training camp this summer to get a new contract.

Williams joked at a news conference that he tries not to think about the fines he’s incurred during his time away from the team and said his revised pact is “pretty much done.” Williams has a contract through 2026, but he had no guaranteed money in the remaining years of the deal and Williams said he was looking for more commitment from the team.

“Security. It’s an unstable league,” Williams said, through multiple reporters.

Although the situation became increasingly dire over the summer, Williams says it’s all over now.

“For lack of a better word, it’s kind of a war,” Williams said. “Both sides are going to lose some blood, but we’re going to wave the white flag at the end. We’re both going to sign a little peace treaty and we’re good.”

Williams will spend the next week preparing for the game against the Jets on the first Monday night of the season.
