Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

[Warthog]

Rivera and Williams have made the next important step: they had their first telephone call. This is very good and they’re both moving forward. The next step is for Trent to come visit Rivera in Asburn. All this is good news. The key point of contention is whether the team will pay Trent the money he wants, especially for guaranteed money. I think they will and if TW is healthy, he’ll be playing for us this season.

I really think this is going to happen! Next is Scherff and Flowers.

Oh yeah, and we need to resign Dunbar. He’s our best CB. By dumping Norman we can get the money we need for this new contract - which also is about guaranteed money in case he is injured. I’m SO GLAD these issues aren’t being handled by Bruce Allen. With him gone we actually have a chance of keeping our best veterans.

The time to have moved Trent was last season before the trading deadline to a contender that needed a left tackle. Now teams that still have that need are going to look toward the draft for someone they can have on a rookie deal. Considering his age and cap number the trade value for Trent is probably pretty low right now.

Right. If Bruce knew what he was doing we could have received a first rounder and definitely more from the Texans for Trent. But he blew it, as usual. Now Trent is worth a second or maybe lower.

Far better to resign him with the guaranteed money he wants and he’ll do well for 2-3 years. Starting this year they draft for one OT, plus a couple in the UDFA. If they can’t get a good OT project, then they draft higher in the 2021 offseason.

Passively listening to Sheehan's show this morning and Im not sure if I heard him right but I think I heard him say its been rumored/reported that Trent wants to be paid top dollar LT money. He then cited to Lewan's 18M and another guy in the 15M range.

Anyone hear anything about this?

I'm just curious. Why are people so damn obsessed with Trent Williams? What have we won with the guy? Idk, I just don't get it. I don't want him back at all. Get the draft pick or two and get a younger cheaper guy in there who will stay healthy and is going to be part of the future.

It's a new era and I really don't want an old disgruntled injury prone player who's on the downside. Enough of that shit. Move the fuck on and act like a real organization. Kind of baffled as to why RR is even reaching out to the guy. He should be working the phones and getting the best deal.

So glad Greg Olsen signed with Seattle. Didn't want the guy. He'll be hurt by week 5. Why would you even call him in the first place? He can't be counted on!

Also, call the Ravens and see if they still want Kerrigan. I'm cleaning house.

we need to go on record for Trent Williams:

I’ll go first: absolutely no way do I support a massive extension for Trent Williams where he is the highest paid left tackle in the game at his age and recent injury history

Agree, I want him back but he's also getting old and yes the injuries are a big concern

Not really Williams related, but the skins can only reasonably pay so many O-linemen big bucks. Right now, we have 3 O-line positions up in the air with Williams and Scherff both commanding top dollar and Flowers playing well enough in one year at guard to demand a respectable contract. We cant resign all 3. And with as many holes as we have on the roster, I don't really think it makes to pay Williams and Scherff the kind of money they want. Doing so would certainly mean going cheap at LG, which is less than ideal.

This writer thinks its possible we could resign Flowers and very good right guard for about the same money as just resigning Scherff. Taking such an approach would allow us to pay Trent, if that's what Rivera wants to do.

Must admit I was thinking we should go after Thuney if we can't (reasonably) re-sign Scherff. They will want similar money but I'd say Scherff will be more expensive given his age.

Looks like the Browns will need a left tackle. From ESPN:

NFL offensive tackle Greg Robinson was being held Wednesday in a Texas jail on a pending drug distribution charge, records show.

Robinson, 27, a former Auburn standout who played for the Cleveland Browns last season, was booked by the Drug Enforcement Administration on Tuesday after federal agents said they found 157 pounds of marijuana in a rented vehicle in which he and two other people were riding.

I doubt he can claim the 157# was for personal use.

when I was 19, 157 sounded about right
