Trent Williams Could Return To Redskins “Sooner Rather Than Later”

Former Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall said via the Athletic Redskins LT Trent Williams could end his holdout and return to the team “sooner rather than later.”

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport confirms he’s been hearing something similar, with next week an option for the situation between Williams and the team to end. 

Hall previously reported a week ago that Williams told him there was “zero chance I’ll be in that building next week” following comments from Redskins GM Bruce Allen indicating he expected Williams to play for the Redskins this year.

Williams requested either a trade or release earlier this offseason and has reportedly vowed not to play for Washington in 2019. The Redskins have reportedly rebuffed multiple inquiries for Williams this offseason.

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.
