This could happen ... or another contender

What would it realistically take to trade for Williams?

Mayb a 2nd rounder? I have no idea

They are probably asking for a first right now and someone might bite on that for a Pro Bowl LT.

I definitely agree w/the first part and maybe the second part.

I'd be surprised if we get him. We are casting our lot with Greg R, and Williams will cost us a lot of money or draft capital - probably both. Yeah it'd be great but the salary cap thing means you won't get elite talent at every position.

Well it's out there that they are entertaining offers so if it drags on the price will drop, but I think too many teams are interested for it to drag on too long and they probably already have an offer of a 2nd rounder on the table.

I see no speculation on compensation at all. Just a quote saying "it is unclear what it would take".

Yeah, when you combine his age with his injury issues, IMO people were overestimating his value. I mean anything can happen. Yet I don't see a round 1 and highly unlikely a round 2 selection for him. I mean if you start putting player trades in combination like the OBJ deal, that could change. But I'm really not seeing anything quite like that on the horizon.

Profootballtalk's Mike Florio reports holdout LT Trent Williams "doesn't care" about the Redskins' fines threat.

The Redskins' galaxy brain idea to get Williams to report is apparently to enforce their ability to fine him $40,000 per day. Camp fines are a completely impotent bargaining tactic, as all parties know the only real recourse is to forgive them once the player finally reports or is traded. It's surprising the Redskins took the time to leak it was their plan. Washington needs a real general manager.

Washington is a mess. Way to set up your rookie qb.

With that said, I am kinda hoping we don't trade for Williams. I don't think we need him.

Me either. It seems our FO/coaching staff are comfortable with GR.

In my opinion, he would be an upgrade over Robinson. However, there are some negatives:

--Trading a high pick for him
--He gets hurt a lot
--I think he is overreacting about not playing for Washington again. People are ripping Duke, yet this guy is kinda crazed about it.
--At some point, we need to start thinking about salaries
--Do we really need a Pro Bowler at every position?

Just to add one to Vers: it seems like our team is behind Greg (Baker wanted him last year over Harrison and hasn’t waiverd)

Trading what it would take to get him at age 31 is what scares me.

He could decide to retire if his knee gives out on him and we'd be out a 1st or 2nd rounder.

On the other hand, we could be a LT away from contending.

As far as money goes, his contract expires before Baker has to sign again and that is all we need to worry about. Greg will be asking for close to what Williams is making now if he has a good year and will want it long term.

He thinks Washington's medical staff ruined his career earning potential and his future ability to walk, so if he's right, I don't think he's over-reacting.

I don't think we need a Pro Bowl guy in every spot but the QB's blind
spot is a good place to have one.

Also the staff does seem high on GR so maybe they feel like they potentially have that guy.

I halfheartedly agree and this is one of those tough decisions that make or break GM's

If I thought my team mishandled my injury I'd be pretty pissed too.

That’s the info that we aren’t privy to one way or the other (like Kawhi Leonard) .. IF that’s the case, he has every right of course

106.7 The Fan reports that holdout Redskins LT Trent Williams is "telling friends he's prepared to sit out the season."

Reporter Craig Hoffman also confirms that Williams requested a trade in June. Per Hoffman, the Redskins are "confused" by Williams' demands. He has reportedly "not demanded specific changes on the medical staff" and has been "silent in attempts to negotiate a new contract." It seems what Williams wants most of all is to get out of Washington. There has been zero indication the Redskins are considering accommodating him.

Sounds like he’ll be traded now ... no way do they sit on his situation at his age. They’ll have to try to get anything they can, and it’s not like they’re legit contenders anyways

What injury?

I thought he had a tumor on his head. How did Washington mishandle it? I saw a quote from Gruden saying that Williams would be fine. Is that mishandling it? Has Williams specified how they mishandled it? Has he asked that the medical staff be replaced?

This is all the site i go to had on it ... i’m Sure there’s more out there ...

FYI ... Allen’s the gm not the owner ... I have no clue how that dude still has a job ... he should have been fired 2 or 3 years ago .... he’s a jackass and he stinks at his job ... everyone leaves that place disgruntled with him ...

Redskins LT Trent Williams posted an Instagram story which appears to show him getting ready for an operation.

Williams had a non-cancerous tumor removed earlier this year, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports this is just a minor clean-up procedure. Unhappy with both his contract and how team doctors handled his medical situation, Williams is holding out from the offseason program and has demanded a trade. Losing Williams would be a massive blow to Washington's thin tackle group.

Trent Williams wants Redskins to make medical staff changes: report

RICHMOND — As Trent Williams continues his holdout, others have wondered what it will take to get the star left tackle back to the Redskins. Would money heal all wounds? Is this even salvageable?

Well, according to former Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall, Williams wants changes made to the team’s medical staff. The seven-time Pro Bowler is upset over the way the team handed the diagnosis of a growth on his scalp, which later required surgery.

Hall said on the NFL Network that he’s talked with Williams about his situation.

“It’s not about money,” Hall said. “That’s what makes this so unorthodox and something we’ve never seen. We’ve never had a player say, ‘Hey, get that training staff out of here or I’m not coming back.’”

Further adding to the drama, The Washington Post’s Jerry Brewer wrote in a column that Williams “has trust issues” with the medical staff — leaving him to want a trade. The Redskins have denied that Williams‘ relationship with Bruce Allen is “fractured,” but Brewer’s report backs up what CBS’ Jason La Canfora reported of the left tackle wanting out.

The Redskins recently added veteran tackle Donald Penn amid Williams‘ absence.

As I've said before, I'd love to have Trent Williams but he is not a realistic option. We are paying Greg Robinson starter money to play, not to be a backup.

Snarky. But, okay. LOL

thanks bone

I'm with those that don't feel we need him. He falls under "nice to have".

I would not offer more than a 3rd rounder for him. Injuries plus contract issues plus age - he doesn't have more than three years in the tank. It's just not worth it.

What a soap opera ... this is one of the most bizarre scenarios i’ve Ever seen unfold as far as hold outs go ...

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he "would seriously doubt" the team is trying to trade LT Trent Williams.

Gruden added he's "very optimistic" Williams will return to the team. This is the second time Gruden has downplayed Williams' holdout. The Redskins have been playing hardball with Williams, but there's a real chance they could end up getting burned if they don't trade him. Williams looks prepared to carry his holdout into the regular season.

A source told NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay that Trent Williams is "not coming back. Period."

According to Finlay, Williams is willing to stretch his holdout into the regular season. Williams is reportedly upset about his contract and has lost faith in the front office and medical staff. With Williams seemingly serious about seeing this holdout to the end, Washington could be forced to trade him over the next couple weeks.
