## Resource

The 49ers are not exercising left tackle Trent Williams' option bonus, per recent reports. All public-facing signs from San Francisco have signaled eventually coming to a reworked deal, but so far this offseason, those efforts haven't come to fruition. On this episode of 49ers Talk, Matt Maiocco breaks down what declining Trent Williams' option bonus means and how it affects their negotiations with their star offensive lineman moving forward. Later, Jennifer Lee Chan catches up with 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk from the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, where he joins other NFL stars and coach Kyle Shanahan at the same stadium that will host the event for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
