Trent Williams holding out for new deal

[Irrefutable]

What would his contract situation be? two full years left, it might make him more desirable

And Allen punishes Trent with the loss of a full years pay.

Trent may very well come back week 10 to have the season count as an accrued one.

From what I've read, the current feeling from people close to him is that he won't come back week 10 and is committed to never playing for this team again.

If that's the case, and he does have 2 years left on his contract in 2020, then i actually think holding him until the offseason to trade is the right approach. However, if he DOES come back week 10, then we absolutely should move him for what we can get now.

Good point.
But the trade deadline being 2 weeks before week 10 doesn't play in the team's favor.
If I'm TW (and I've decided I want to get out of here as fast as possible) I'm telling the Skins I don't ever want to play for them again and then I'm coming back week 10...
That would be nightmare scenario for us...

I agree that would be a nightmare scenario for us, but its not necessarily in Trent's interest to do so. As far as we know, the Browns are the only team interested in trents services now, and we don't really know what they've offered. Unless Trent is DYING to play for the Browns, it might be in his long-term best interest to sit out the entire year.

Then, the team could give his agent permission to talk to other teams in the offseason - 32 teams vs. just the browns. this would create more of a market and ability for trent to work out the framework for a potential extension prior to the trade.

Totally makes sense... my only fear is that with how poorly this situation has been handled, with BA being such a stubborn sob and with Trent obviously being real mad with the team, common sense may have jumped outside the window a while ago.

Now hopefully Trent's agent is having the same reasoning as you're.

Trent has had the opportunity to expedite his exit from the team, and he hasn't done anything. He could have shown up and be a malcontent (see Jalem Ramsey) and he would have been traded. Instead he is giving his paychecks to Snyder. So it will not surprise me if he doesn't show up week 10 to accrue a season.

I hope he doesn't. That's 12MM in cap space we can roll over to next year if he doesn't.
