Awesome! and TW is getting a new agent who will get it done. This is all good stuff! Of course now I wish they had spaced these out like 1 a week over the next 5 weeks, just to give us gristle to talk about

I'm hoping that the motivation for Silverback to fire his agent was to get into camp quicker and not some other underlying reason. For the moment though, if Williams was so eager to get his contract done that he fired his agent who is apparently notorious for having players sit out, then that can only be a good thing.

The final Redskins rookie yet unsigned, Williams likely will wait as other first round draft picks sign their contracts. He recently fired agent Eugene Parker, but said he did not expect he would hold out come training camp, if he could avoid it.
"I can't guarantee that it won't be a minor holdout, but I guarantee it won't be more than a day if I do," Williams said. "They got me with the first group so I really can't afford to miss any practice. I stressed that to my agent and [we'll] see if we can get me to camp on time."

Redskins Insider - Trent Williams is getting up to speed

Trent Williams hires new agent | ProFootballTalk.com

I was wondering about this earlier today. Looks like he only fired the big name agent, not the whole team. I sure hope he gets his deal done on time!

From Ben Dogra's wiki:

NFL client base

A few of Dogra's NFL clients include DE Mario Williams, Houston Texans; LB DeMeco Ryans, Houston Texans; RB Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings; WR Roy Williams, Dallas Cowboys; RB Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers; CB Terence Newman, Dallas Cowboys; WR Braylon Edwards, New York Jets; WR Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills; RB Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts; and LB Patrick Willis, San Francisco 49ers.

I don't see a lot of hold outs in that list, and also see players who tended to get good deals (I think of Willis and Demarco Ryans specifically)

I say the chances that Trent is here on time for training camp is about 80% now.

Did you think it was higher before?

I read somewhere that his previous agent was notorious for having his clients hold out and Williams replaced him b/c the deal wasn't moving forward fast enough or something to that effect.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope he is in camp on time.

TW has made it clear he doesn't intend on holding out. I'm sure he'll be in on time, if he does miss time it won't be more than a day or two.

good stuff. Rarely you hear about a young up and coming redskin with a good head on his shoulders, ready to do what is needed to progress and succeed in his career. Very good stuff.

They will get this guy in camp on time. Right now he is one of the most important pieces of this team, and it seems as though he knows how important he is to the club. Not like AH, from what we hear in the media he has the drive and commitment to work hard and earn his spot on the line. Missing any of training camp will hinder him and the Redskins as a whole from getting that accomplished.

My chances increase from what they were before from 60 to 80%.

Same agent as orakpo.. single day holdout
