Trent Williams holding out for new deal

[Number44]

I agree. That's why I didn't vote. Don't see the need to pay more now or panic and trade him.

He's a 31 year old, injury-prone guy who NFL talking heads have said only has a few years left (due to his injury history). This is all about money for Trent - he's not going to lose nearly 1M per week by not playing. He will want those game checks, so he's going to show up, as do the majority of players who hold out in the offseason.

I agree. That's why I haven't voted. Don't see the need to pay him more now or panic and trade him. I think this is being blown out of proportion.

As has been mentioned, with his history of missing a 1/4 of the games and not getting any younger, extending him with more guaranteed money would not be a smart move. That is a cap disaster waiting to happen. Also when he signed his contract he was the highest paid offensive tackle. Right now the $16 million dollar tackle is 4 years younger than Trent and doesn't miss games.

I say trade him right now! We should take the picks and move on.

What picks are you thinking we would get?

If he's as elite as you people claim would should be able to get a first rounder.

He can be elite and effective for our team but not be worth a first round pick to other teams, because they aren't going to get him on a 5 year rookie deal.

If you are saying trade him to get picks you should at least say what a realistic valid offer is

If he's not worth a first round pick then why is he so valuable to us? If we can't get a first rounder for him then he can't possibly be as good as you claim he is.

Because he is an all pro left tackle who protects our qb and fights through injuries while we have a shot.
Because our next man up is a drop off of considerable proportion.
Because we have a rookie qb and having an all pro left tackle makes one less thing the rookie has to focus on especially early in the season
Because we have a contract with him that has 2 years still on it

Are you seriously asking if "Trent Williams" is valuable to the Redskins? As a fan of a team that has struggle to find a decent O lineman anywhere in the last 3-5 years I can tell you that as a team you do what you need to do to keep just not a pro bowl but to keep an "ALL PRO" left tackle happy.
