Trent Williams holding out for new deal

Pro Football Talk's recent take:

Starting to think this is going to linger into the season. I highly, highly doubt the notion that'd he return to DC, but the trade option will enter the regular season. Frustrating situation.

You mean JP Finlay's recent take from NBC Washington.

It's getting closer to brass tax, but I don't agree that we're there yet. If Trent doesn't show up for the first practice of Week 1, then it's time to freak out.

The hammer is still the $11M worth of game checks he'd miss by sitting out games. He doesn't start giving those up until he misses Week 1. If you're freaking out now then you wouldn't be good at a game of chicken. The time to panic and consider veering off course is Week 1.

This is so sad and frustrating to me. Look what Jaylon Smith just did for the cowboys and what he said about being on that team. What a contrast. (Of course, they still have Zeke being a douche, but still.)

I don't think TW is going to cave. It's been reportedly repeatedly this isn't about money, but he does have 2 years left on his deal. Also, I won't completely discount the theory that he doesn't want to do camp at all, similarly to AB's helmet theory. Either way, it sure would be nice to get this deal resolved.

ANY player that signs an extension is going to say good things about being on that team. You aren't signing a multimillion dollar deal then turning around and bad mouthing the team.

Fact is Trent still personally hasn't come out and said anything. Yes a lot of smoke from reliable sources, but it's not like TW walked up to a podium and lambasted the team. If somehow a deal is reached the first things out of TW's mouth would be that a lot of his words were taken out of context and he appreciates everything DS and the Redskins have done for him and his family.

That's just the way the business end is.

At this point, I don't care about Trent. I care more about Schreff's deal not being done. Unfortunately, this has A LOT to do with the student CBA expiring. This is going to push a lot of big time players to pull a Kirk Cousins and do anything and everything to get to free agency.

The point is he took a below market deal to help the team sign Dak and Zeke and said so. We don’t have guys doing that. Not even close.

To be fair, teams will always screw over players and often don't show the same loyalty. That being said, it sucks to see players like that or for example Brady always taking below QB market money to help their teams be competitive.

Do you think Brady would take below market if his wife didn't earn more than he did?

Absolutely not.

Man, we need Trent back in the worst way
