Latest On Redskins, Trent Williams

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Redskins remain set on not trading holdout LT Trent Williams, even though teams like the Browns have called multiple times about a potential deal.

According to Rapoport, Washington plans to hold on to Williams unless they get an offer than can’t refuse before next Tuesday’s trade deadline.

Rapoport adds that the tentative plan has been for Williams to show up prior to the team’s Week 10 game, which is when he would need to return in order to get an accrued season.

• According to Albert Breer, the Redskins could get a nice return if they were to trade LT Trent Williams. 
• However, Breer explains that the situation has gotten personal and Washington is likely to wait until after the season to trade him. 
• Teams that have contacted the Redskins about a deal for Williams have reportedly been met with a flat “no.”

After firing Jay Gruden a few weeks ago, Redskins president Bruce Allen told reporters that there’s been “no dialogue” with any team regarding a potential trade for Williams.

When asked if they would consider trading Williams, Allen said: “No, not at this time.”

A source very close to Williams tells Dianna Russini that “Trent doesn’t have any plans of returning to the Redskins anytime soon.”

Williams requested either a trade or release earlier this offseason and has reportedly vowed not to play for Washington in 2019. 

Williams, 31, is a former first-round pick of the Redskins back in 2010. He currently in the fourth year of his five-year, $66 million contract that includes $43.25 million guaranteed and stands to make base salaries of $11 million and $12.5 million over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2018, Williams started 13 games for the Redskins.  Pro Football Focus rated Williams as the No. 21 tackle out of 80 qualifying players.
