Trent Williams is likely on his way out of Washington. However that may make you feel, whether elated or deflated, it is all but a done deal, now that the Redskins have informed the veteran left tackle that he is free to seek a trade.
It could be days, or it could be weeks, but the outcome is pretty inevitable at this point; Trent Williams is going to be playing for a new team when the 2020 NFL season kicks off.
But who will that new team be? There are several options, like a contending team that needs a little bit of help on the offensive line that will push them over the edge into becoming a real power. One team that has been mentioned often is the Cleveland Browns, who reportedly discussed a potential trade for Williams in the closing hours before the 2019 trade deadline.
The Browns are ripe with talent across both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but the offensive line is still in need of major improvement if they are to let QB Baker Mayfield realize his potential. Putting Williams on his blindside is about as good of amove as they could make at this point.
Whether it’s the Browns or not, expect chatter to build as Williams and his camp continue to search for a trade partner over the coming days.
