00:00with some breaking news bright and early on this Tuesday morning
00:09following Labor Day weekend last week. The 49ers pay Brandon
00:13IU. He's happy. He is paid. It does appear at this moment that
00:19Trent Williams is getting his money as well. The best tackle
00:22in football will be compensated as so finalizing a rework deal
00:27with 11-time Pro Bowler Trent Williams. What exactly the
00:31contract figures look like that remains to be seen but reported
00:35by ESPN's Adam Schefter in the last 15 minutes. Trent Williams
00:39and the Niners are finalizing a contract that will have Williams
00:43back for practice and maybe even starting on the left side
00:46Monday night to end out week one against the New York Jets at
00:50home. Great football players can do this and great organizations
00:55that care about their fans and their players do the same things.
00:58Hey, look, we don't know if we want to pay this amount of money,
01:01but when the season starts to approach we knew Ben there was
01:04no way like if Brandon and I got traded right that would have
01:06been a mishap there for the 49ers, but you could have said
01:08okay can't afford him big paycheck next year. We got a first
01:11round pick back in a second round pick and we'll move forward
01:14that which I wouldn't have liked but I can understand that
01:16there was no way that Trent Williams is going to sit out
01:19three four or five games or this season and not be a part of a
01:22Super Bowl run. Maybe the best left tackle in football. You
01:25want him paid you want him happy to protect the backside of
01:28your quarterback was anybody out there the minute Trent Williams
01:31said Ben I'm not showing up to training camp here. I want a
01:33new contract that anybody that's it. He's never going to play
01:37again and they're not going to sign up. We knew this was going
01:39to take place and they got it done enough time for him to get
01:42back into the fold. Here's the only interesting thing in any
01:44walk of life. If you're not around your teammates and your
01:47players because this wasn't a hold in from Trent Williams.
01:50He wasn't there. Yes. He was probably working out on his own.
01:53But at the same time you're basically going to get thrust
01:55in right away to game week with an unbelievable Jets defense.
01:59Do we think he's going to be up to the task probably so but
02:02something to keep an eye out on but this whole story we knew
02:05this was going to get done because sane ownerships general
02:08managers and playoff and players understand when your team is
02:11looking to go on a Super Bowl run get everybody in camp get
02:15everybody happy. Let's start the season with no more of this.
02:18I wonder if a guy shows up. They're done. They're ready for
02:21the season for the 49ers now.
