I guess that means 2 things:

1. Trent is still unwilling to accept a reasonable salary to play football.

2. No team is willing to offer anything of value in trade for Trent Williams if they have to pay him an outrageous salary to get him to play.

Much easier for Trent and his agent to try to blame it on the Redskins than acknowledge these facts. It is pretty clear that the number of people fooled by this nonsense has gotten smaller and smaller, and certainly no one with any decision authority for any team has bought into it. If Trent's agent has still not advised him to wake up and smell the coffee, he needs a new agent. If Trent is driving this bus against his agent's advise, he may not play this year either.

Well, I hope the Redskins stand their ground. You simply can't settle for anything less than a 2nd round pick unless the offer is sweetened with a solid player of a position in need.

I'd be fine if this drags into 2021 so long as they don't settle for peanuts, as has been mentioned already.

Actually, after looking at the draft chart, I might just take that. Those two thirds are technically more value than their 2nd round pick.

That would give the Redskins four picks in the top 79. Could probably turn that into Chase Young, OT, CB or WR, TE... even more than that if they decide to trade down.

It is going to have to drag into the season to get a second. His value will never be as high as it was right before last year's trading deadline when a couple contenders needed help at his position. I think there two problems to trading TW right now, the combination of what he wants and what the Redskins want.

Actually, this is the best time to trade him, because teams are setting their draft boards and they have cap room. I think teams are being cheap on the compensation and want to play chicken with the Redskins. It is a ridiculous for a team to offer him a deal but not offer fair compensation.

I'm fine with the Redskins trading Dunbar for a 5th, because that was more than he was worth to other teams (who were offering in the neighborhood of 6/7 round picks).

Trent is obviously valuable to teams out there, but they are being cheap on compensation. So I'm fine if the team sits on this at least until the draft.
