Trent Williams holding out for new deal

Edit: I can see a workaround this issue - we could package Redskins's 1st round pick with late 1st round pick that we got for Williams, to move up and draft a top 2-3 LT player BUT this requires things that are out of Redskins' control to fall together.

I dont see any team trading a 1st for Trent, especially a non-contending team that will have a top 15 pick. Id prefer 2 2nds anyway.

Bigger roadblock I think is that Trent only has 1 more year on his current deal with a 2020 14.6M cap hit. I think it will require a "sign and trade" so the new team has a guarantee Trent is committed for reasonable value beyond 2020.

Sign and trade seems impossible with a guy like Bruce doing the "communications".
