Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

So does Trent have 2 years left on his contract? Then trade him, you cannot count on him otherwise. A high pick and a mid-round pick would be fair.

Just curious, not disagreeing, but how you do that for TW, but then let RK go if they in fact do.

Business?

He has one year left on his contract. He’s not going to bring two draft picks in a trade. Bruce Allen totally mismanaged that trade possibility last year (surprised?) when we might have received a first and another high pick with the Texans.

Right now we would get a second round pick, period. If you resign TW now, it would most likely be a 3 year contract with lots of guaranteed money, which is what he wants. He probably plays for us for two years at a good to very good level. He’s had a year to recover from prior injuries so he should be in great shape for his age. If he’s NOT in great shape, he will not be resigned but traded.

Trent was a team captain. He was the best player on this dysfunctional team for many years. He was well liked by his teammates and coaches. Let’s forget last year and just bring him back to solidify this OL.

The team will draft at least one OT in the draft and multiple picks in UDFA. If the team gets a backup OL player they’ll be happy. If they get a starter, they’ll be very happy. But remember unless the team can resign some players the OL will be a hollow disaster. We’ll need a OG to replace Flowers, Scherff; and an OT to replace Trent/Penn; the Center position is weak; Moses had a terrible year in terms of play and he was a plague with penalties. All we have on the plus side is Martin. Christian is a bust. How is Haskins going to grow with a crappy OL?

Spend the money to resign Trent, as long as he is truly healthy; spend the big bucks to resign Scherff; spend the average money for Flowers; release Penn and Christian and Moses.

Draft an OT in the fourth or fifth round, bring in 3-4 OT in UDFA and hope one is a starters and one a project or backup. Move Martin into C or to replace Moses. Pick up one good OL FA to replace the C or Moses.

This OL is two years from being settled with decent backups. In the 2021 draft I think the team will need to draft high for the OL. Trent is worth the money. Forget this last year, both sides had points.

Two different situations. TW made no secret of his disdain for the medical staff. And if the things I have read are true, the medical staff was let go when Rivera was hired. TW under contract for 2 more years. The environment has changed and I think TW comes back.

RK, easy decision. You guys draft Chase Young at #2, it makes RK and that veteran contract expendable.

Kerrigan isn't going to command that much money and with the D-Line revamped it will take him out of offenses scopes and his numbers will improve. His numbers have dropped but he is still a valuable player and on field leader.

But an expensive one. If he agrees to a rework of his contract I think he definitely stays, but if not, adios. If he is gone by the draft, no way we don't take CY.

That's a good question. From what I understood because he was on the "non football injury list" the team could argue that last season shouldn't count as accrued, and the Redskins would have rights on his contract up until the 2021 season... But Williams and the NFLPA could fight that.
So I'm guessing all of that depends on if you wanna bring him back and extend him (in which case it doesn't matter that much), or if you want to trade him (which would only make sense if you did have rights for 2 more seasons).

Does anybody have more info on that matter ?

Redskins don't intend to trade TW (https://www.si.com/nfl/redskins/news/trent-williams-firmly-in-the-plans) per Rapoport. No real news here but it does feel like we could come to a conclusion of this story.

There's a number of problems with this:

1) Rappaport says the previous regime was intent on trading Trent. That is clearly bull crap. They were intent on keeping him and not paying him.
2) This is exactly what the skins would say if they wanted to trade Trent. Make it seem like we want to keep him to increase leverage in a trade
3) It says nothing of Trent's intentions. Trent did not hold out just because of Bruce Allen and the medical staff. He made the decision before any of that came up when he wanted more money and Bruce said no. Unless the team is willing to give Trent an extension with guaranteed money, there is no reason to think Trent would suddenly want to come and play under his current deal
4) And following the previous point - this is exactly what the team would leak publicly if they wanted to make it clear to Trent they weren't moving him, so he better show up and play.

Basically, this report demonstrates Rappaport doesn't know what he's talking about and is meaningless until we have signs that Trent wants to be here.
