Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

[Buffalo Bob]

I am pretty sure Trent did not magically turn 22 years old from sitting out a year and now will play 16 games a year for 3-4 more years. People here are acting like he is a pro bowler in the prime of his career if they think someone will give a first rounder for him, not happening. He also wants an insane amount of money for a guy who played all 16 games only twice out of 10 seasons and the last one of those he was 25 years old. Even when he suiting up and playing he was often dinged up. He is high mileage for his age, not what a lot of you are projecting.

Even with all that said, he's still a less risky proposition than any tackle coming out of the draft who has never played a down in the NFL. He'll definitely cost more though.

If he ever ends up playing again he'll be broken down by week 8.

It doesn’t matter how he’ll actually play once he is traded, it’s what teams THINK he can do for them NOW. Having 7 Pro Bowls while playing for a crap team will definitely impress. He may have faded some but he has been considered an elite LT for years.

So teams can go for the “known” with Trent or draft for the unknown with most draft picks being straight busts or just team bodies until they get released at the end of their first contract. Remember the average career in the NFL is just 4 years.

I think it is very reasonable to get a second round pick for Trent with his record. A first is probably a stretch but still a possibility. This will help the Redskins in the draft, increase our cap and say with Rivera’s strategy of only keeping players who want to be here..
