Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins
Guys, Trent has one year left in his contract. He qualified last season for a year on his contract even though he wasn’t paid.
The Redskins, RR and even Gibbs are saying Trent will come back. This is NOT A mixed message. This is NOT a secret plot to get more for him in a trade. NOTHING will get us more than a second rounder - so he’s worth far more to the team then a trade for a draft pick.
Bruce Allen decided to punish Trent for daring to ask for a trade. Other elite players in the NFL asked for the same thing ( to be traded) AND WERE TRADED. But Bruce thought he could force TW to play by penalizing his pay.
AS USUAL, Allen totally mismanaged everything. He enraged Trent enough that he sacrificed $12 mill. Trent could have been traded to the Texans for AT LEAST a first rounder AND more. But Bruce decided to punish the best player on the team and a leader and Captain of the team. Bruce Allen was a complete tool and probably the worst GM in the NFL.
Anyway, the ongoing courtship will move forward rapidly. RR has made the public pronouncements of support for Trent and that he.’s part of the team. Rr wants him back (as long as he is healthy). They’ve just talked to the agent, seeing where Trent is at. They probably also pledged to the agent to get Trent the guaranteed money he wants. Then they’ll talk about the details - 3-5 year contract. The next part is up to Trent. He may be waiting to see what other teams have to offer. The Redskins need Trent more than he needs the team. But this love-in support now hopefully makes him forget Bruce Allen and the medical crew.
BL - everything is going smoothly and I give it an 80% chance he will return to the Redskins. The only issues are if there is something wrong medically (I doubt it) or in the unlikely scenario where Trent continues to insist on a trade. If that happens, he will be traded and we.’ll use the 2nd rounder of the best TE/WR/ OT left in the draft.
