According to Trent Williams, the current, yet also former left tackle for the Washington Redskins, owner Dan Snyder had a problem with the seven-time Pro Bowler speaking out about his recent dust-up with the Redskins.
It was this event that led the Redskins to place Williams on the NFI list, assuring that he would not get paid for the remainder of the season.
In an interview with The Athletic — one in which Williams’ said that he will “never be a Redskin again” — the long-time veteran said that despite the strong relationship that is still in place between himself and the team owner, it did not go over well that he pulled back the curtain and told his side of the story, detailing the events that have taken place over the last six years, all of which led up to Williams holding out from the team for months on end.
“Obviously, me speaking out about it, (Snyder) wasn’t too happy about it,” Williams said, via The Athletic. “Obviously, no matter what I said or how I felt about him, just speaking out against the organization and kind of putting people on notice about how things are going around there. I don’t think he was particularly happy with that, which led to them putting me on the NFI list prematurely and choosing not to pay me.”
Whether or not a solid relationship remains between the two, it is growing increasingly clear that Williams will no longer be a Redskin after this season, so there isn’t much need for good blood anymore.
