Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
I need to hear it from a better source than JLC that he's done with the team.
If he is done with the team time to sell. It's pretty embarrassing that this could be how it ends with probably the best player on this team for the last decade. |

Yup. Another botched situation in a loooooooong line of them by this front office. Don’t worry. Bruce Allen knows the “truth”. He’s got it all under control. We’re in good hands with “Bruce and the Bozos” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
So, as of now, TW has said nothing. The only thing he has done, is not show up. Granted the are stories that may or may not come from his camp.
If TW wanted to move on, I see no advantage in staying completely silent. TW himself may not be one to do that, but it would be to his advantage for his agent to come right out and say it. Despite JLC story, there has been no formal trade request. If he only wanted out to DC that would already have happened. It sounds like he's upset bc the medical staff said he could wait until after the season to address the scalp issue and then he got a real scare. Who knows if anyone is in the wrong here, but either way he got shook. So now he wants some more insurance (in the form of monetary compensation likely). He's a team guy, so rather than start a big controversy and likely get moved from the team, he's just staying quiet in the media, he let his camp leak an inkling of what got him upset, and otherwise is letting his absence talk. Redskins aren't budging it seems. Which could prove problematic. If they let him stay upset, it could cause conflict between the most respected player in the locker room and the FO. Hopefully they make some gesture that makes him feel heard, because it sounds like that is part of this. Most likely he'll play come week 1. The question that has me most concerned is will he come back happy or disenfranchised? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

As I and others said, I still think it's nothing money can't fix. But I sure hope this is not a conflict that'll parasite the locker room.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Does anybody know for sure if the growth on trents head was cancer ? I have a friend who is going through exact situation.. he has a significant lump on his scalp and it was seen by doctor several months ago .. he still has not found out if it is cancer or not ( scheduled for biopsy) .. unfortunately it takes time to get an appointment..you would think a serious issue would be quicker to find out.. I hope he turns out to be okay ..

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Michael Thomas , Zeke , TW, Melvin Gordon.. All absent. It happens everywhere, the only reason it's a big story is because it's the Redskins.

Actually the holdouts in general are a big story because many of them area a result of the upcoming bargaining agreement So anyone who doesn't have guaranteed money between now and when the current CBA expires is probably going to hold out to get some insurance money. That's the financial part of the TW situation that few people talk about (which is what Trent's agent probably wants to happen). TW has no guaranteed money left in his contract and the team can release him with little repercussion. So any guaranteed money would be insurance to him if there is no CBA agreement and players go on strike.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
I'm very suspicious of reporting around this.
If Trent's relationship with the Redskins was truly fractured, he or his agent would have said so publicly. Such would be their incentive - they would be trying to force a trade or release by any means necessary. The fact that Trent and his agent have been completely silent makes me believe this is a play for dollars. The word getting out that he's not happy with the medical staff is just an arrow in his quiver to strengthen his negotiating position. I continue to think he'll definitely be back for week 1, new contract or not.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Per Ian Rapoport
Veteran offensive tackle Donald Penn is flying to Washington DC today to sign a 1-year deal with the #Redskins tomorrow, sources say. Key veteran help given Trent Williams’ likely lengthy holdout. |

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
This may end up being a game of chicken between Trent and Bruce Allen.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Last year he missed 12 games due to injury, the year before 2 games. He is 36 years old, keep your fingers crossed.
