SPORTS LOBO IN DEMAND

NFL all-pro Trent Williams ranked among top free agents

By Brianna Dix Sooner Wire

The 2021 league year and free agency period begin on March 17 at 4:00 p.m. EST. The next chapter begins for all 32 teams on that day when 2020 player contracts expire and many hit the open market. The Athletic released a ranking of the league’s top 50 2021 free agents and former Oklahoma Sooner, and former Lobo, popped up on the list. Former offensive tackles Trent Williams made the cut.

WHAT THE ATHLETIC SAYS

After missing all of 2019, Williams was traded to the 49ers and played at a high level. He finished fourth among tackles in ESPN’s passblock win rate and made the Pro Bowl. Williams is on the wrong side of 30, but left tackles of his caliber are hard to find, and he should still have plenty of suitors if he hits the open market. David Bakhtiari ($23 million per year) is currently the NFL’s top-paid tackle. The floor for a Williams deal could be the contract ($17 million per year) Garrett Bolles signed with the Broncos. One important note: As part of Williams’ restructured deal with San Francisco, the 49ers can’t use the franchise tag on him.

WHAT SOONER WIRE SAYS

Trent Williams was not highly touted coming to Oklahoma coming out of Longview High School. He was projected to be OU’s lowest-rated offensive line prospect in 2006.
