For the NFL, it's March 21st. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The San Francisco 49ers are hitting a snag and contract talks with Star Left Tackle Trent Williams. They've decided not to pick up his $10 million option for next year, which jumps his salary cap hit to $47 million in $20. $26. That move wipes out any guaranteed money left on his deal, setting him up as a free agent in 2027. Talks for a new contract have dragged on through the offseason, but no deal yet. Team insiders feel something could get done before the April draft, though progress has been slow. Still, with NFL moves happening fast, a trade isn't off the table if they can't agree. Several teams are watching closely, including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, and Kansas City Chiefs, all needing help at Left Tackle. The Steelers have broader zone-slotted there, but he's been inconsistent and is coming off next surgery. Kansas City let go of Juwan Taylor, leaving them with less proven options like Jalen Moore

and Josh Simmons. The bear space uncertainty too, after Aussie Trapalos torn Pateller tendon in the playoffs, which could sideline him for much of 2026. With Caleb Williams behind center in Super Bowl hopes, they'd love a veteran like the 38-year-old Williams protecting his blind side. She's rumours even put them leading the pack if he hits the market. At 38, Williams stays elite, so interest would be huge if he's available. Keep an eye on this as the Aussies in heats up. It could shake up the line-ups big time.
