Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

We shall see, maybe someone should put up a poll. Whether it happens pre draft or post draft I believe will make a big difference.


It’s likely to happen right before or even during the draft

Trent to the Jets?

But wait. There’s more. 3 more teams rumored to be interested in Trent now. Let’s get that bidding war going!!

I have to say this: I hate that it seems a forgone conclusion that we're trading Trent. I wish there was some way we could keep him on the team.

He's been a warrior for us, playing hurt, and outright dominating when healthy. You can count on one hand (with a finger or two left over) the number of left tackles that you might say you'd be equally happy protecting Haskins, and I would think that would be worth more than a second round pick (yeah, I know he's 31 and coming off an injury and off year, but if you've seen the workout videos he's posted, he looks ready to go -- I am still amazed at the quickness of a guy that big).

Tackle is the one position that the Redskins seem to get right over the years (Samuels, Lachey, Jansen, Williams, and Jacoby -- I mean, what other team could boast a list like that?), and I hate to think we have to try to start over at that position. But it definitely sounds like we will have to.

Report: Cardinals, Texans have inquired about Trent Williams

Cardinals, Jets, Texans and Browns so far

Keep in mind an inquiry could mean - Hey are you really asking 20Mil? It doesn't mean that they are pursuing acquiring him. In fact every team with an average LT ought to be contacting him to find out where his asking point really is.

Although there may be several teams interested it doesn't necessarily mean a bidding war, if he only likes one of them then they can offer the minimum that the Redskins will accept, TW has a lot of leverage here if he is looking to go to a winner or to max out the dollars....

I hear you but the ship has sailed with Williams. He will always be one of my all time favorite skins for smacking Richard Sherman in his big mouth and for the reasons you state above but he wants absurd $ and honestly with his feelings about the team not the kind of dude you want around when trying to change the culture

Take the best offer we get for him and move on. Wish Trent all the best

Yeah I think Trent will be traded due to a mutual desire between the team and Trent Williams. We’ll get a second or maybe even a first rounder, as well as increasing our cap to $72 mill and Trent will go to another team to finish his career and get the guaranteed big bucks he wants. I’m sorry to see him go but this might be better for everyone. Rivera wants players who want to be here and be part of his program.

Regarding the draft pick we get for Trent, I think it may go toward TE or WR versus an OT. Both WR and OT are deep in the draft while TE is very shallow. Kyle Smith might be able to wait until the third or fourth round to get a WR or OT.

The increase in cap may allow Scherff to get his contract versus franchising him. I still think that either Hooper or Henry will be a must hire in FA. Besides Scherff and Flowers and Hooper the team will hire Boston at FS, as well as a CB and LB in FA.

There is no chance Trent has the leverage he has a year left on his contract and if the Redskins do not like the offer(s) he could sit another year.

Call me crazy, but seeing that multiple teams are involved, I actually think we get a first rounder (or equivalent value) for Trent.

Some team is going to believe they’re getting a guaranteed top-5 left tackle for 3-4, maybe even 5 more years. That’s the duration of a rookie contact.
For contending teams with cap space who are in the market for a starting LT, why take a gamble on a first round rookie when they can get a pro-bowler?

Sure, a rookie is younger and there is the potential the team could draft a guy and lock up the position for 10-12 years, but that presumes they can resign him when his rookie deal expires. And a rookie - even a first rounder - could end up being a bust.

I’m calling it now - We’re getting first round level compensation.

Not calling you crazy at all.

My level of expectation right now is a 2nd + a 4th or less.

But yeah the fact several teams are showing interest is a good sign.

Not sure we get a 1st though, some of you were thinking the reports teams offered their 1st for TW last year were false, my guess is they were true, but that was last year, with 2 years left on his contract, not one. And the beginning of a season vs entering offseason isn't the same situation either.

So his trade value has to have decreased at least a little bit.
