Seahawks restricted free agent offensive tackle Garry Gilliam was offered a multi-year deal by the San Francisco 49ers but turned it down, per a report from Sheil Kapadia of ESPN.

Kapadia reports that the door is not closed on Gilliam heading to the 49ers but that he'll return to Seattle for another season if no deal is reached.

"The lines of communication between Gilliam and the 49ers are still open," wrote Kapadia. "If they don't agree to terms, the veteran right tackle is expected to sign his $1.797 million tender with the Seahawks next week. If Gilliam ends up signing an offer sheet with the 49ers, the Seahawks have the right to match it. If they let him walk, they receive no draft pick compensation."

Gilliam took a visit to the 49ers on Thursday, news that was reported earlier in the day by Field Yates of ESPN. Gilliam, who is in his fourth NFL season, started 30 games for the Seahawks since 2014 but would likely be a depth option and/or potential swing tackle in San Francisco, where Joe Staley and Trent Brown are expected to hold down starting spots.
