Trent Williams holding out for new deal

[WCommandersfan99]

Sources around the league feel that it is inevitable that we trade him soon:

Might as well trade him now to highest bidder after increasing demand. A haul really does seem possible.

No, I say wait, wait for offers to increase, wait for an injury on some other team to occur, wait for something you CAN NOT turn down.

When I say now, I mean sometime in the next few weeks assuming offers do increase. Start the trade war. Think that's occurring actually. We need to take into account him missing a few games a year and coming off the health issue. I want maximum value, but also make sure it's still an attractive haul. Trading him right before the regular season to a team with Super Bowl aspirations (Houston, NE, etc) should pull in the best net. Also, not counting on NE to be the team with their perpetual shrewdness for situations like this.

Not good with Williams for Clowney. I want the 1st rd pick minimum.

Wait till a contending team has a T get hurt, they’ll pay. If Houston gave a 3rd rounder for a RB (Duke Johnson) why can’t the skins get a 1st rounder or more.

How long do you wait for that to happen? A lot of 300+ pounders are known for not being fond of conditioning. The longer Trent sits the more likely he will drift further and further from game shape.

I disagree. When has Trent ever been out of shape? He has always been a dedicated player and a leader.

Things change. How dedicated is he now? This time the more news that comes out this incident isn't on the Redskins, it is on Trent.

This is the the best post of the lot on this topic, IMO. A SB contender with no LT is a desperate team.

The Skins should simply be patient. It seems like he's not physically ready to practice or play anyway, so why worry about getting him into Redskins Park right away? Just wait him out. He'll probably report eventually.

On the other hand, if he's serious about not playing for the Redskins, the Skins should still wait until the deal they want comes along.

Exactly. The Redskins hold the cards. To stay away, Trent would have to be willing to give up $617K per week, or $11M per season. And teams will be most willing to make a deal between the week 3 preseason games and Week 1.

Gotta just sit tight.

Agreed.

If the FO plays it right they're in a position of strength:

"Hey TW, you're not that young, sure you wanna sit out 2 years ? Lose all that money and do what it takes to stay in good shape for free hoping to get a huge contract somewhere when you come back ? ... Oh? You want to be traded ? Well, you better pray an injury puts a team in a desperate position and tell your agent to get on his phone and try to find a good offer for us because we're not trading you for an F you sandwich pal..."

...

Team(s) call(s) to trade for TW:

"Skins FO on the line... Oh, TW? Yeah that'll be a 1st, a 3rd and a 5th. What's that? Too expensive? Well have a nice day Sir, him sitting out doesn't cost us a dime so we can wait for you to come with a better offer".
