Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

Yes, if that was the best deal on the table.

2 3R > 1 3R.

Agreed. And if there was a player you like in the 2nd, you could package those 2 3rd rounders for a second.

I think we can do better than two 3rds

Saw a report that the Jets could offer both of their 3rd round picks, would you all take that for Trent??

Nope. You can't settle. He's under contract...he is essentially claiming to be the best LT in the game with the contract he is reportedly seeking. Therefore, the Redskins need to be compensated accordingly. Two 3rds is not fair compensation in my opinion.

2nd and a 3rd in 2020 is the minimum I'd even consider. Otherwise, I'd rather have Trent play the final year, walk in 2021 and get a compensatory pick in 2022.

Except:
- he wont report or play for us next year (safe assumption)
- next year therefore will not count as accrued so he wont be FA eligible
- we then are in the same boat we are in now, except hes another year older
- even if he leaves in FA, a comp pick is not guaranteed bc we would have to make sure we dont sign an offsetting FA

We can continue to act like Bruce Allen or we can take the best offer and move on.

Ill be shocked with a 1st Round pick for Trent...I just don't see it happening. But Id run to get both a 2nd and 3rd round picks. Id be very happy with that compensation.

I'd take 2 3rd rounders. I want this situation handled. It's dragged on long enough. That's not a great hall but not too shabby either. Like mentioned above they can be packaged to move up if we want to. But you can get some solid players in the 3rd round.

To me it's not just about fair compensation it's about resolving an issue that's been a weight around the neck of the team for over a year now.

I think given the interest level so far we'll be able to wrangle a 2nd out of somebody. His high contract demands are a factor for sure but this is a franchise level LT we're talking about, I think the demand will be there to drive the bidding to round 2 territory.

Probably, the Jets are negotiating, if they make it a 2nd and 3rd in 2020 that would probably do it.

No one thinks Trent sits out another year. Especially after he talks to teams and finds out none of them are going to pay him the $25M he was asking from Rivera. This has always been at least 90% about the money. Several reporters have mentioned that Trent was more willing to sit out last year because he could make up for his lost 2019 salary on his next contract. He's certainly finding out from other teams now that that is almost certainly not going to be the case. So there's no way he's going to compound his mistake by missing out on another 12 Million dollars in 2020 (24 million over 2 years).
