The Washington Redskins now have two high-profile players on the trade market, and they’ll look to get rid of them before April’s NFL Draft.
According to a report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Redskins have officially placed cornerback Quinton Dunbar on the trade block as of this weekend. The team will now take calls on the young CB who rose to become one of the best pass-defenders in the NFL in 2019.
It’s unfortunate that the situation with Dunbar has gone down this road, as his growth in the NFL since transitioning from WR to CB has been encouraging to watch, but the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement on a contract extension in the end. Dunbar, who is due just $3.25 million in 2020, is arguably worth a much higher salary than that, and he believes he should be paid as such. Ron Rivera, on the other hand, wants players who are all-in on his team, and he reportedly doesn’t feel inclined to extend Dunbar just yet.
For a brief moment, after Dunbar asked to be released or traded earlier this year, it seemed that the two might be able to work some things out, and it was reported that Dunbar was expected to show up at offseason workouts this spring and summer. That doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, as Dunbar will now join Trent Williams on the trading block.
