| 2/27/26 |  What we know about 49ers GM John Lynch’s offseason priorities | Trent Williams knows how much the 49ers need him. The star left tackle is a shrewd businessman who has navigated complex contract negotiations with his agent, Vincent Taylor, in the past.

When 49ers GM John Lynch met with reporters at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week, Williams wasn’t the only player who was on Lynch’s mind. The Standard’s David Lombardi joins “Section 415” to discuss how Lynch is approaching the team’s offseason priorities, which involve cutting ties with Brandon Aiyuk, addressing a weak defensive line, and finding quarterback Brock Purdy more help.
