Another saga in the Trent Williams situation has now taken place, as the Washington Redskins have reportedly informed the left tackle that he is openly free to seek a trade with other teams.
This comes after the new regime, headed up by head coach Ron Rivera, worked for a while to try and repair the relationship with Williams, who held out from the team for most of 2019. The two sides were unable to come to terms on a contract extension, and now Williams is likely to be shipped away.
It will be interesting to see what type of trade market there is for Williams, who is soon to turn 32 years old, and has not played in over a year. Still, when he is healthy, the seven-time Pro-Bowler is one of the best LTs in the NFL, and he is hoping to get paid as such in the future. A rumor has been swirling in Redskins’ circles that Trent could desire a new contract that sees him paid $18-19 million per year, at a very minimum.
