The Washington Redskins are reportedly considering trading Trent Williams. Here are answers to some of the biggest questions about any trade.
The Redskins have been busy over the course of the past week or so. Since training camp began, they have been shuffling their offensive line quite a bit. They have added three new players to the mix while cutting ties with Tyler Catalina and Casey Dunn in recent days. And, there is a reason why.
At the moment, the Redskins’ star left tackle, Trent Williams, is holding out of camp. Depending on who you listen to, it’s either about money…or he has vowed never to play for the team again. But either way, he’s not in camp and there’s no end in sight for his holdout.
As a result, the Redskins have reportedly had trade discussions involving Williams. It’s important to note that these could be exploratory, and the front office may just be trying to see what they could get for Williams if he does, in fact, decide not to show up. But, after signing so many players on the offensive line, it is notable that they are at least looking into a Williams trade.
The ‘Skins well could end up keeping Williams, but if they do decide to trade him, they will have to answer some questions and weigh whether or not a deal is truly worth it.
