Based on what is being leaked it sounds like it might be in TWs best interest to not have the records available. If the tumor was as severe as explained and he has nerve damage then there is no way he is getting a guaranteed contract like he wants.

Aside from that, it would prove that he lied about the medical care provided in an effort to extort more money from a team that had made him the highest paid LT in the league with a heavily front loaded contract. What team is going to give big money to a player who would do THAT? It would be like choosing to get married to a woman when you know she has a history of cheating on her husbands, getting divorced, and taking half their assets. Smart teams don't do that.

That is speculation too. I am more of an innocent until proven guilty kind of guy, but if you are going to force me to choose sides based on speculation alone I would say I trust TW way more than our FO.

It seems to me that you are more of a guilty until proven innocent type of guy. Williams is the accuser here.

Now he's the one that doesn't want an independent investigation? The Redskins offered to fire anyone on their medical staff that was responsible and Williams said he didn't want to cause anyone to lose their job. Huh? You claim that they told you not to worry about a cancerous growth and you don't want them fired? Now the Redskins request the League and the players union that an independent investigation be run to get to the bottom of it and Williams tells the union he doesn't want an investigation. Why on earth not?

Bruce Allen has proven to be absolutely terrible for this team, but in this one instance, it is looking like the player is probably the one that isn't being truthful.

Agree that TW handled this poorly not sure what your point is.

You said that if forced to decide who to believe on this, you would choose Williams. I'm simply pointing out that the Redskins offered to fire anyone responsible and he said he doesn't want anyone to lose their job -- and then when the Redskins requested that the League and union investigate independently, Williams said he doesn't want that. To me, it is really hard to believe Williams when he's the one that wants the matter not looked into. He leveled an accusation, but doesn't want anyone investigating to find the truth.
