Trent Williams holding out for new deal

[Schneed10]

Chico you’re proving yourself to be the most irrational spaz on this board. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Honestly the Tunsil trade just gives the Redskins more leverage, in my opinion. Now the price, if you want Trent, has been set. I think it's pretty clear that Trent either plays under the current contract, sits out the year, or his agent brings a haul equal to or better than what the Dolphins got for Tunsil.

Kinda agree.
It's glass half full vs glass half empty.

On one hand we may have missed a tremendous offer and lost a potential desperate LT buyer... on the other hand the price for an elite LT (+a young WR) has now been set crazy high and the next desperate LT buyer will have to come close to that kind of offer.

Objectively we're in a good negotiating position... but I get that your confidence our FO will handle this well can be low.

I can't bring myself to believe that the price of an elite LT has been set by this deal. First off, this deal was done by a team, the Texans, that doesn't even have a GM - and it showed.

Second, this team was desperate for a LT and everybody knew it. They should have played their cards closer to the vest. A competent GM would have done that.

Third, we don't even know exactly what the Texans paid for Tunsil because the Dolphins sent them two good players. How much did the Texans pay for Stills in this deal? That may be where they got fleeced. It was well known that Stills ran afoul of the Dolphins owner over his criticism of the owner's personal political activities. Stills was as good as G-O-N-E from the Dolphins because of that. In this deal, he should have come at a price somewhat lower than his normal market value. Again, no GM in place.

Solid points, thanks.

Still think the comparison to this deal could play in our favor, a team getting TW for a 1st and a 3rd or two 2nds would look better than the Texans here.
