The stalemate between Trent Williams and the Washington Redskins has seemingly led to trade territory.
But Williams’ financial demands might make a trade nearly impossible.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, word is Williams started off asking for “quarterback money.”
Pair this with another report that Williams wants to be the NFL’s highest-paid tackle.
That’s probably not going to happen, of course. Williams will turn 32 over the summer and just spent last year away from the game after his split from the organization.
While there are a ton of factors for the split and current trade-block status, the money side of things complicates matters beyond most. Williams and his reps might’ve come in extra high just to force Washington’s hand, but it’s going to remain a factor in whether other teams want to deal for him.
