Trent Williams holding out for new deal

I had to double check...but Clowney never had double digits sacks. Exactly how much to you pay him?

Well, I think he's due something like 15-16 million this year (the last year on his current contract)...surely we can't afford that without jeopardizing future contracts such as Scherff, et al.

To me this is nothing more than Texans talk. I'd be thoroughly surprised if the Redskins were even remotely considering this scenario.

Sacks don’t tell the whole story, if you’ve ever watched him play he’s super disruptive and someone the offense worries about on each play

No question he's a great player who would instantly upgrade the defense, but the price and circumstances are not right. Pass.

Curious, what would be the right circumstances???

More than this year left on his contract. A solution on the left side of the line. A swing tackle who can be relied upon. If you trade straight up for Clowney and get no other compensation (high draft picks as suggested would be the asking price), you are worse off next year than you are this year.

I'm not even sure why this is a discussion. No way in hell this happens...

Clowney is a stud, and much younger than TW. Does it solve our LT problem? No. Does it make us worse? No.
I mean TW is not getting any younger so I am not sure how getting a stud on the other side of the line who has years left in the tank is a terrible way out of this mess? We need to draft left side help on the o line regardless in the very near future. Is it better if TW and us have a stand off this year? His value will only go down as he gets older.

He's very good. I'm not debating that. However, trading for him implies you plan to sign him to a long term contract. Doubt we could do that AND have enough $ leftover to resign guys like Scherff, Kerrigan... You also get no draft capital to shore up the O line next year.

Yeah, no thanks.

I don't know if it's "better" to have a stand off, as you call it, but you can't just give in either. TW either comes back to play, or you wait for the deal you can't refuse.

True, they need to draft another LT and maybe a LG, +
RG. As well as a TE and WR #1.

I'm moreso hoping our WR unit figures itself out and makes that "need" disappear
