DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Trent Williams

You just don't read the threads to understand the context. Not my problem.

Williams in DC, Duke here, Gordon in San Diego, Harris in Denver ...... the one way a player usually expresses his displeasure with *something* is to request a trade. I would guess that most such requests are denied.

JMHO,Williams is too much like the guys we use to get- Scott Fujita,Willis McGahee, Miles Austin, Vince Young, Brian Hartline, Willie McGenist- some gave us couple years, but never at their past performances....Williams is an OLD 31....I'd not sign him....GO Browns!!!

I forgot we even signed Vince Young. Did he ever play for us?

No. He was a camp arm.

Trent Williams is still very good and his skill level fits the timeline of our current roster.

Trust FO to get players we need to compete...JMHO, I'd rather have young guy learn/cost us some plays than OLDER guy WITH injury history....Forbes or Corbett should work out...especially Corbett...I like the current competition....AND waiting for camp exposes the OLD guy less to injury....GO Browns!!!
PS if he was good and healthy he'd have been signed.

No offense, but you might want to educate yourself on the topic before you spout off like that.

Three teams talking to Washington about trade for Trent Williams

I'd give this article more credence if the writer(s) led with "sources tell us..." or something to that end rather than "the three teams that are believed..."

The latter quote just seems like they're guessing on who the three might be.

But then, on the page talking about the Browns...


Who knows though, I tend to not believe anything without concrete sources.

Except MKC, I always believe her.

I wish we could acquire Trent Williams but I think Greg Robinson probably makes too much to be a backup.

I can think of 32 million reasons why Greg Robinson could be an expensive backup right now.

I don't know what this means but I'd love to know the reasons.

We still have $32 mil of cap room. More than enough to afford both if we wanted.

Washington may not let us keep Robinson in a trade, but money shouldn't be the issue. I would prefer that we gave them Hubbard if they wanted a tackle.

I'd almost require them to take Robinson back just to clear the space.

We have room but overspending on a position is not wise.

I don't see it happening.

I think Baker likes Robinson .. it seems to me like we’ve seen enough to be committed to him for now

j/c:

Robinson is a question mark. He played well enough last year, but he busted w/a couple of teams before he came here.

The RG position is the one I am most concerned with. Zeitler was a very good player. He was one of the top-ranked guards by PFF last year. That's a big hole to fill.

I think Hubbard is underrated by this board. I think he really improved a lot as the year progressed. He is an adequate RT and we don't need to replace him.

Why does Williams want out?

TRENT WILLIAMS
T, WASHINGTON REDSKINS

NFL.com's Mike Garafolo reports holdout LT Trent Williams' return to the Redskins is an "open-ended thing."

Per Garafolo, "this could take a while," and that's if Williams returns to the team "at all." Garafolo believes the Redskins probably should have found the tumor on his head sooner. Even if Williams can be convinced to come back, Ian Rapoport reports he could require further operations. 2019 is beginning to shape up as a potential disaster year in Washington.

The Redskins just released their leading tackler last year, perhaps to make room to re-sign Trent

Baker said good things about Robinson last year...who wouldn't after the Desmond Harris debacle. But TW is a Sooner, and it wouldn't shock me at all if Bake was communicating with him.

How much older is Trent than Baker though? Did they play together at all?

Thanks, I didn’t think so

I think I'd rather have Robinson than Hubbard. His upside seems higher and his contract is better than Hubbard's.

Hubbard

Robinson

If Baker was slower in getting rid of the ball, I would prefer Hubbard, but I think Robinson will help the running game of this offense in 2019 more than Hubbard will and with Baker at QB we wouldn't notice much difference in the passing game.

I'm not so sure about that. There are far more plug and play positions that can be easily replaced. RB is a prime example. Unless you have some elite RB, you can find a replacement should a season ending injury be sustained.

That's not the same situation for a LT. If you have an average to above average LT and he goes down in camp or preseason, you have just acquired a situation that is very hard to fill with the same skill set. Your need just became immediate and dire in a critical position that protects your QB's blind side.

From a team chemistry perspective I agree that the sooner the better. On a needs basis, nobody needs a LT more than a team who just lost there's.

Jake Burns reported today that Robinson looks the best he’s ever looked thus far ... that’s promising

TRENT WILLIAMS
T, WASHINGTON REDSKINS

According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the relationship between the Redskins and holdout LT Trent Williams is "totally fractured."

La Canfora sees it as beyond repair, noting Williams "does not intend to play for them again." The stud tackle was a no-show for the start of camp and it doesn't sound like the two sides will be mending fences anytime soon. If Williams is truly done with Washington, the team that drafted him fourth overall in 2010, it would be a major downgrade for the Redskins' O line. Concerningly, former Giants draft bust Ereck Flowers has been getting starter reps at left tackle.

I wouldn't complain if Dorsey stole from Washington's lunch plate-
