Trent Williams ends season-long holdout, rejoins Redskins

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Call me crazy, but seeing that multiple teams are involved, I actually think we get a first rounder (or equivalent value) for Trent.

Some team is going to believe they’re getting a guaranteed top-5 left tackle for 3-4, maybe even 5 more years. That’s the duration of a rookie contact.
For contending teams with cap space who are in the market for a starting LT, why take a gamble on a first round rookie when they can get a pro-bowler?

Sure, a rookie is younger and there is the potential the team could draft a guy and lock up the position for 10-12 years, but that presumes they can resign him when his rookie deal expires. And a rookie - even a first rounder - could end up being a bust.

I’m calling it now - We’re getting first round level compensation.
