I want to say that seattle traded a 3rd and a future 2nd to get him. Now heres the thing Brown was also 31 when he was traded and I think we can all agree that Trent is a better tackle than Brown is. So that being said if he really plans to not play I hold him out and wait for a 1st round pick for him Right. The salary cap space is a sunk cost anyway. And his rights remain ours if he sits out. So wait until a team gets desperate and then trade him. If they aren't that desperate, we keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does diminish their value. Getting a conditional third may be the best option. Both sides right now think they hold all of the cards, but in reality, they need to meet in the middle and figure something out. If not, Williams is going to stay at home, and the Redskins will happily keep him on the restricted list, because Bruce Allen will not allow himself to "lose" this.

A legit elite WR is worth more than an elite LT, and their contracts back that up. The top paid LT in the league makes on average $16 mil per season: https://overthecap.com/position/left-tackle/ There are 8 WRs in the NFL that make more money per year than that: https://overthecap.com/position/wide-receiver/ It seems that NFL GMs value an elite WR more than an elite LT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know why? You can scheme your way into decent protection if you have an average LT. But an average WR? Not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
