Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

2) This is exactly what the skins would say if they wanted to trade Trent. Make it seem like we want to keep him to increase leverage in a trade
3) It says nothing of Trent's intentions. Trent did not hold out just because of Bruce Allen and the medical staff. He made the decision before any of that came up when he wanted more money and Bruce said no. Unless the team is willing to give Trent an extension with guaranteed money, there is no reason to think Trent would suddenly want to come and play under his current deal
4) And following the previous point - this is exactly what the team would leak publicly if they wanted to make it clear to Trent they weren't moving him, so he better show up and play.

Basically, this report demonstrates Rappaport doesn't know what he's talking about and is meaningless until we have signs that Trent wants to be here.

Good points. Honestly part of me has checked out of this story and just wants it solved...

Apparently Rivera hasn't really talked to Trent yet , and I guess anything we hear before that (unless it comes directly from Trent) is kinda irrelevant...

Exactly, If TW plays the silent game, and the Skins have not talked to him, then we are exactly where we were at the start of training camp last year. I have hope that Rivera will bring a better end to it, but so far we are where we were last year.

This will not drag on. It will be cleaned up by training camp. If he doesn't want to be with the Skins, Ron will move him. It may be for a ham sandwich.

Cleaned up by training camp? There is no way it takes that long, a decision by the draft must be made. If he leaves they need a 2020 draft pick.
