Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

Just another reminder how bad Bruce and Dan effed this up last year. Make no mistake, Snyder bears alot responsibility as well.

We could be sitting here with another 1st or 2nd with other picks. We lost leverage as well

If Allen had not effed things up, he'd be here again. So I'm just letting it go.

There have always only been 2 options with this situation, Redskins just need to chose one and move on.



1. Extend him.



2. Trade him.



Im fine with either ... but make a decision and move on already.I agree. This is a stumbling block left over from BA. The longer it goes, the more it can fester. Hopefully RR is doing some talking at the combine and seeing what level of interest other teams have and makes a decision soon.

JP Finlay on Sheehan on podcast...from sources...Trent contract demands are and I quote "staggering". North of 20 million per year and wants to be highest paid by a lot.

Finlay saying Skins will not be doing that. JP Says trade more likely than not coming

20 million per year? Yeah right. Bye.

If I were the Skins Id offer him 2M a year. When his agent gets all red faced and huffy ... Id tell him me asking for 2M is just as ridiculous as you asking for 20M. This isnt going to be a "meet in the middle" game where you start unreasonably high at 20, I start at 12 and we "meet" at 16.

Problem - any trade value will be greatly diminished bc the new team will have to sign TW to a LTD and that doesnt sound appetizing. Why would you trade a 2R for the honor of having to make a 31-32 year old the highest paid LT?

Solution - give him permission to seek a trade, have his agent get the best deals he can. If the skins dont at least get a 3rd ... let him sit a year and collect the hopeful 3R comp pick.

I don't understand how Williams could have been traded last year or even now with that asking price.

I agree with SunnySide, let his agent do the work and find the best trade deal. I just highly doubt anyone is going to pay him QB money.

I wonder if it's just an asking price as the agent and Williams probably already knew any team would not meet that offer but would be willing to something close to 20 such as 18m per year or something? As of right now, Lane Johnson - a RT for Eagles is highest paid tackle in NFL with average of 18m per year (according to sportrac.com). So I'm guessing that's where Williams and his agent got the numbers from.

Williams obviously knows his football career will end soon so he wants to cash in as much as he can get.

This.. it was just the absolute worst way to handle a disgruntled player. Get him out of your building, get your picks and move on.

Also Trent team trying to make up for the 12 million he missed out on. You know negotiating is about coming out and firing high...but this seems a bit much.

Haste would make waste here, with the draft coming up Trent's trade value is pretty low. The time to trade him would have been last year to a contender who needed a left tackle. The best move is to call him on his demands and just let him sit into the season again and wait.

You're probably right about that. I didn't think about letting him sit at home. I just wouldn't want him to be around the other players at this point. Still, I'd want to see him traded prior to the draft so we could snag some more draft capital.

Heck, the truth is I don't have any idea what to do with this problem. Just make it go away, Ron. I'm sick of this soap opera.
