Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

[MTK]

Trent isn't getting $20M a year from anybody, but if he did more power to him.

I always laugh at how bent people get over contract talk. It's called negotiating. Both sides start out far apart and work towards a deal in the middle. If a number gets your panties in a bunch you're in the wrong business.

I think every football player should get whatever they can money-wise for their services. They have to live later with permanent physical injuries and more significantly with the CEP effects of concussions. The average career length in the NFL is 4 years. “Not For Long” = NFL.

I was hoping the Redskins could resign Trent. And maybe they will when he finds out what the real market is for him in the NFL. Obviously he wants to be the highest paid OT in the NFL. If the Redskins really try to keep Scherff - he will cost at the top of the OG salaries. Scherff is 28 and in his prime.

If the Redskins have to choose between resigning Trent Williams at the top salary versus Scherff at the top salary, they’ll trade Trent. They can’t hire both players at peak contracts.

I could understand that if he was negotiating in good faith. But he was one of like 2, maybe 3, NFL players in the last decade+ to actually sit out the entire year last year acting like it was all about the environment, Bruce Allen, the diagnosis, etc. while keeping the contract situation on the DL and acting like that wasn't his main priority. So we fixed everything he had a problem with, and instead of him meeting us halfway and tweaking his contract to guarantee a little more money he's now "I need a new deal." FOH. Where were you last year when we needed you protecting our rookie qb's blindside? My patience only goes so deep. He burnt us last year for his own reasons (which I agreed he made very valid points with) but now he's still not willing to come back? There's a lot of give-and-take in this shit, and so far he's not giving shit.
