Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

I have a feeling that Trent pulled a Kirk Cousins and made a demand that he knows the Redskins are not going to be able to give him, because he wants to move on.

Also, Trent no longer has any beef with the team, so it is not like teams can play chicken and wait until the team let's him go. So teams are going to have to compete for Trent, and that's only going to mean a better compensation for us.

I think having great left tackles for about 20 straight years has made us desensitized to what it's like to have a problem at that position. Teams that haven't had a good LT in 20 years would give their left testicle for one.

Same way we felt about the QB position prior to seeing Kirk Cousins take the reins in 2015.

I remember the Shar Pourdanesh and Joe Patton years, so for me not so much

Call me crazy, but seeing that multiple teams are involved, I actually think we get a first rounder (or equivalent value) for Trent.

Some team is going to believe they’re getting a guaranteed top-5 left tackle for 3-4, maybe even 5 more years. That’s the duration of a rookie contact.
For contending teams with cap space who are in the market for a starting LT, why take a gamble on a first round rookie when they can get a pro-bowler?

Sure, a rookie is younger and there is the potential the team could draft a guy and lock up the position for 10-12 years, but that presumes they can resign him when his rookie deal expires. And a rookie - even a first rounder - could end up being a bust.

I’m calling it now - We’re getting first round level compensation.

Not calling you crazy at all.

My level of expectation right now is a 2nd + a 4th or less.

But yeah the fact several teams are showing interest is a good sign.

Not sure we get a 1st though, some of you were thinking the reports teams offered their 1st for TW last year were false, my guess is they were true, but that was last year, with 2 years left on his contract, not one. And the beginning of a season vs entering offseason isn't the same situation either.

So his trade value has to have decreased at least a little bit.

A 1st rounder definitely isn't off the table if multiple teams are interested.

We shall see, maybe someone should put up a poll. Whether it happens pre draft or post draft I believe will make a big difference.

It’s likely to happen right before or even during the draft

Def not ruling out a first rounder especially if multiple teams get involved.

The difference between Trent and draft picks is you're getting a proven commodity that has been elite for almost a decade now, at a premium position in the league.

And sandtrapjack, it's not a matter of "if" he gets traded, it's a matter of when, and for how much.

Also Bulaga hasn't been elite in a while now, and Jason Peters is battling father time. Trent is definitely more desirable than both.

I'm thinking probably a second, maaaybe a first in the <20% chance a bidding war happens.

Trent to the Jets?

But wait. There’s more. 3 more teams rumored to be interested in Trent now. Let’s get that bidding war going!!

I have to say this: I hate that it seems a forgone conclusion that we're trading Trent. I wish there was some way we could keep him on the team.

He's been a warrior for us, playing hurt, and outright dominating when healthy. You can count on one hand (with a finger or two left over) the number of left tackles that you might say you'd be equally happy protecting Haskins, and I would think that would be worth more than a second round pick (yeah, I know he's 31 and coming off an injury and off year, but if you've seen the workout videos he's posted, he looks ready to go -- I am still amazed at the quickness of a guy that big).

Tackle is the one position that the Redskins seem to get right over the years (Samuels, Lachey, Jansen, Williams, and Jacoby -- I mean, what other team could boast a list like that?), and I hate to think we have to try to start over at that position. But it definitely sounds like we will have to.

I hear you but the ship has sailed with Williams. He will always be one of my all time favorite skins for smacking Richard Sherman in his big mouth and for the reasons you state above but he wants absurd $ and honestly with his feelings about the team not the kind of dude you want around when trying to change the culture

Take the best offer we get for him and move on. Wish Trent all the best

Well, the Texans interest makes it easy. Just trade Williams for Laremy Tunsil.

[CRedskinsRule]

Keep in mind an inquiry could mean - Hey are you really asking 20Mil? It doesn't mean that they are pursuing acquiring him. In fact every team with an average LT ought to be contacting him to find out where his asking point really is.
