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.
Trent Williams doesn't have a snowball's chance of getting anything he wants from the Skins, least of all to make up the $12M he lost.
I think the idea of letting Trent and his agent try to find a deal might work but what do I know?

I agree, give him until the draft to make his own trade that the Redskins agree to. If he cannot he will not be traded and expected to honor the current contract or lose millions more.

No one is going to trade for Trent if he’s demanding north of $20M per year.

Sure they will because when Trent's agent talks to other teams he and Trent will soon discover that no team is going to pay Trent anything close to that ridiculous number.

Trade him and Dunbar to Jacksonville where they can reunite with JG, maybe the Rams could be interested also.

Yup...I think that’s the charge it will take to be a redskin. Hence “I’ll never be a Skin again”....he may go somewhere else for 15 mill per.
No team is paying him 20 mil, but that’s the cost to us

Agreed. He doesn’t care about the Redskins - he just wants to cash out at the end of his career. I thought he would come back for the next two years with a reasonable contract with the guaranteed money he wanted.
The maddening thing is Bruce could have traded him for a first rounder AND MORE if he had managed this trade in a reasonable manner last summer. Instead he totally blew this trade, like so many other things.
It looks like we will trade Trent for a second rounder and maybe something in the 2021 draft. $20 mill is just a crazy number to ask for at this point in his career. This would make him this highest paid OT in the NFL. At 32. When he hasn’t finished a full season in how many years? I’m disappointed in how this turned out.
If Trent keeps asking for this insane salary number, the team will move quickly on from him with a trade. They don’t want this to distract the team. They’re going to probably use the second rounder for an OT to replace Trent.

If true that 20 mil number is absolute insanity for a guy like him.
If we come away from this with a draft pick that's less than what we should've gotten you can chalk it up to one last parting failure of Bruce Allen.
Trent isn't getting $20M a year from anybody, but if he did more power to him.
I always laugh at how bent people get over contract talk. It's called negotiating. Both sides start out far apart and work towards a deal in the middle. If a number gets your panties in a bunch you're in the wrong business.

Trent isn't getting 20M from the skins lol, he may get 12-14 but at his age I wouldn't bank on it
