As the 2020 offseason has continued on, one thing that has yet to be resolved for the Washington Redskins is the Trent Williams situations. It is a relationship that has been dinged up over the past couple of years, and as of now, it is yet to be repaired.
Though Williams is still a member of the Washington Redskins, and the team is treating him as such until a trade is made, it seems hard to believe that the seven-time Pro-Bowler will be suiting up in a Redskins uniform anytime soon. At this point, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann doesn’t see it ever happening.
“In Trent’s situation, it was bad. There was no way he [can] be a Redskin again,” Theismann said, via NBC Sports Washington. “The relationship [has] become so toxic, it just [can’t] continue in that vein.”
We’ve seen the Redskins rid of a couple of toxic relationships already this offseason, though neither ever rose to the level of contention that has been seen with Williams. Cornerback Quinton Dunbar was traded to the Seattle Seahawks after he was unable to agree with the team on a contract extension, and safety Montae Nicholson was released after a host of off-field issues became prevalent. It is clear that Ron Rivera and the Redskins have little interest in mending relationships that seem to have a grim future, so it won’t be a surprise if, and when, the news breaks that Williams has been traded.
