NASHVILLE — Left tackle Trent Williams’ contract holdout got extra costly Saturday, even though an eventual pay raise will cushion the NFL-imposed fines he’s accruing.
Missing the 49ers’ preseason opener Saturday will cost him $1.1 million, or a week’s worth of his $20.05 million base salary this coming season. The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement calls for such penalty, as well as a $50,000 daily fine for missing training camp, which has amounted to $650,000 thus far for Williams’ camp boycott.
