Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

[sdskinsfan2001]

I just really really hope this is resolved before the draft. 17 days to figure it out.

Yes my hope also. He wants out and we need more players. The draft gives us the best opportunity. Need to move him now. I will be disappointed if he's not moved prior to the draft.

I agree, keep in mind most teams interested in trading for Trent want to agree to a contract extension. I doubt an extension will be agreed upon in a last-second trade- thus decreasing his value

I doubt it will be. I think we'll see an offer made for Trent for a 2nd day or later picks/player once there's a run on tackles in the draft.

At this point, I'd take a 3rd and a player depending on who the player is, but I think 5 OTs go in the first round. I also believe that they have a tentative agreement in place with a team dependent on which OTs go in the first 40 picks or so. Like if Tampa doesn't go OT in the first I could see them giving their 2nd for him. Or Minnesota same thing.

Because of the 5 tackles, we may not even have a trade partner. If I were a GM and my team needed a LT I'd rather draft one of the top guys and get him on a rookie deal for several years. I'd rather do that over dealing w/ a old, broken down malcontent and his stupid ass agent.

TW may have no choice but to suck up his wounded pride and come back here with his tail between his legs.

Definitely agree. I think Trent has to go to a contender that doesn't hit on a draft pick. I really think the options to trade him are limited, what the Redskins want and what Trent wants eliminate a lot of teams.

If it does come to that, I expect Trent and his agent to fight it every step of the way. Remember the "helmet doesn't fit" debacle last year? He'll show up but won't play for whatever stupid reason he comes up with.

This whole situation is a joke, the fact that there was reports the browns offered two picks for him and we said no?! WTF now we are stuck in this spot again this yr with a new regime...

If the Jets offer their two 3rd rounders I'm all over that, previously I said that's not enough but we've gotta move on from this already. I can't imagine Rivera wants to deal with this much longer.

Welcome to the club! That would be considered a great haul to me at this point. Get er done!

[skinsfaninok]

I just don't see anyone doing that now. They all know the skins are screwed because Trent says he will not play for us anymore. I would take just 1 3rd now F it.. See ya later

I still think Trent doesnt report until week 8, if he is not traded or renewed.

get what you can.

Comp pick is a back end 5th.

Not doable with the new CBA. If he doesn't show up for training camp, he loses his final accrued season towards FA. And if he leaves camp for more than 5 days he also loses it. Not sure the Redskins can waive that either (they can't waive the daily fines he also accrues if he misses camp).

Before the details of the CBA were made public, this is what was reported, but turns out it’s not quite true. Several weeks ago, it was clarified that losing the accrued season only applies to players with less than 3 or 4 years in the league. Trent is a vested veteran, so the rule does not apply to him. The part that still does apply is the fines, and that the team is not allowed to waive them. So Trent can hold out as long as he did last year as long as he’s ok losing the money.
