TOUCAN Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Can we save the relationship and reconcile with Trent Williams? Knowing that was a big part of it and there will be a lot of overturn in the staff, can we still make this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTMONK HOF Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 For me I was surprised the way This played out especially disappointing on the way Trent acted. Both parties were at fault. If he’s back OK if not that’s OK too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganF89 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 if he wants to come back im fine, if not then im also fine BUT..... If he wants to come back then im extending him a few more years with a pay raise. hes still a top 5 LT and has sit out a whole year and his body should be completely healed and good to go. I would add another two to three years if he wants to come back. you can argue that hes getting older but good tackles have proven to play at a late age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezy Fanatic Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 At this point I might rather have the picks, assuming we can get anything of value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to trade him and grab his replacement in the 2nd round but its not a given that they will produce. I mean look at Christian, yeah he was a 3rd rounder but he hasnt done squat. I guess im just hesitant bc if you look at the 2019 draft class for tackles in the first two rounds how many panned out? Dillard and Howard I dont think even played 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was mostly about him not wanting to be playing while Brice was in the building IMO more than anything else. Trent will be viewed as some kind of savior if he returns now and now Brice is gone!

Williams and Taylor were really the only two guys that played well though. dont get me wrong there is some serious talent at OT that will be there in the 2nd but dont expect a guy to come in and be trent williams is what im saying In a perfect world for me I would get Trent to come back and tag and trade scherrf for at least a 2nd rounder. preferbly a 2nd and a later pick like a 4th or 5th and use that 2nd rounder on someone like xavier mckinney, Kenneth Murray, Bryce Hall, or AJ Terrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must not have clarified, I meant 2nd round OTs this year. we arent taking thomas in the first. Young has that locked up. and if not then a boat load of picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, usually late first round picks and below take a year or two to develop until they become starter quality OTs. And dear 8 pound 6 ounce new born baby Jesus I hope we draft Chase Young. If we did trade down for more picks though, Andrew Thomas may be available when we would have that first round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillard and Howard I dont think even played I don’t think you could rely on Trent before this whole thing. Super talented but injury prone. That’s not going to get better as he ages. It’s bad that we didn’t adequately prepare for a future without him (thanks Bruce...), but I think it’s too late to turn back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to defend Brice, but how can you adequately prepare for your pro bowl LT refusing to play the season and reportedly not telling anyone until after the draft? I think the team prepared as well as they could have. They drafted a young OT in the 3rd round to develop in the 2018 draft, Gerron Christian. That’s what most teams do. If they have two starting OTs, they’ll draft a mid round OT to develop behind those guys to see in a few years if that OT will be ready to take over for them.
