ya know....I think this is the right answer. its a whole lotta nothing in FA at LT outside of AC from Indy who still might retire. I rather pay Penn 5-6 with multiple draft picks at Tackle as the plan.

That's a good point. I know we have a number of needs, but a lot of those have positions which are strong in FA. It might be a good idea to draft 2-3 tackles and see who develops.

Agreed. OT seems to be a position where players need a couple of seasons to be NFL ready.
That's why I like resigning Penn too, this team is young (defense, receiving corps, QB ...) and needs to be looking towards the future, so I like the cheap gap OT allowing you to draft and develop TW's and Moses' replacements vs signing/trading for an expensive vet right now.

I think that OT is going to be a position where Kyle Smith drafts a bunch of players in the draft and UDFA and then hopes one or two can become a rookie starter. I could see us trying out 4-6 OT players at OT.

Kyle has been able to get diamonds out of coal and he’ll be trying again this season at this position. They may try a stopgap older FA, but the draft is where they’ll be looking to replace Trent AND (hopefully) Moses.

Kyle - do your magic!

His twitter does a good job of laying out all the cuts and tags happening recently.

: We’re more than a week removed from the #Redskins giving Trent Williams permission to seek a trade and there’s no indication a deal is close. Among the road blocks is the Skins‘ compensation request.

Look...this is real simple.

1. We aren't taking the Comp pick or lower if he returns and leaves next in FA next year. That doesn't make sense for us.

2. If Trent is truly a 20 mil per year talent Tackle, the compensation for these isnt just a couple mid round picks.

Skins are likely asking for a 1st right now, teams are scoffing and saying two 3rds which is BS. A 2nd gets it done IMO. A 2nd in the top half of the round I should say.

Mike Garafolo reported Redskins is asking a 2nd round pick for Williams.

I don't think anyone will fold until the season starts. I am pretty sure teams will try the draft and give the guy through camp and the preseason until they give up a high draft pick and TW's contract demands for an aging left tackle starting to have dependability issues.

[Number44]

Not getting a reasonable trade offer is a good thing to happen, IMO. Williams and his agent will then see first hand that he just isn't worth what he's asking. He reports and plays for the $12.5 million called for in his contract and plays well so he can increase his value for next year. We trade him at the deadline to a contender in desperate need of a tackle.

[Schneed10]

Get the 2nd rounder or force him to play for you. He can’t use the Bruce Allen almost ignored my cancer thing with Ron here. If he sits he’ll look terrible and harm his value on the market next year, who pays $20M a year for a guy who hadn’t played in two full seasons? He’ll play for Ron, so call his bluff, stick to your guns and get the 2 or just keep him.

Culture has to be about sending the message that inmates don’t rule the asylum as much as anything.

Big news

Colts extend Anthony Castonzo

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...hony-castonzo/

The ONLY LT talent comparable to Trent is signed, and he did so at a lower number than I expected. So Trents market could heat up with a big talent off the board

[EdmundDorf]

Now the CBA is done teams will be more confident of signing him to an extension, as with all the deals that are suddenly happening, maybe there will be some movement on draft picks if they can ensure he will sign an extension
