This story sounds vaguely familiar :thinking:

Williams wants a new deal or a trade

Quote

Washington head coach Ron Rivera has had positive interactions with left tackle Trent Williams, but that alone reportedly won’t be enough to get Williams back into the fold.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Williams has told the team that he wants a new contract in order to return after missing the entire 2019 season. If they don’t give him a new deal, Williams has requested a trade to another team.

He's 32.  Not a part of the process.

Going to disagree slightly. He may be 32 but next season is crucial for Cam’s future in Carolina. If Williams doesn’t cost meaningful draft capitol and doesn’t demand a long term deal I could see him as a useful stopgap for a couple of years while we determine if Little has a future at LT and if not find someone who does.

The advantage of blowing up your roster for a rebuild is you have minimal pieces it’s imperative you retain long term and can afford to splurge on a short term solution like Williams if it solves a critical short term need. I’d put fully evaluating Cam next season and giving him every chance to demonstrate he should be extended in that category.

I think it’s more likely than not the skins will want something unreasonable for him or he’ll want a stupid e pensive long term deal, but since I don’t know those things for a fact I’m willing to at least let the possibility hang for now.

Doesn’t sound like a good idea..wants get paid a lot it sounds like.. last time we did that with Khalil it bit us in the ass and we are still paying dead cap for his sorry ass!! No thanks 

FWIW spottrac reports Williams current pay as 14.5, so safe to assume he’s looking for significantly more if he sat out over it.

Might be worth a gamble!! Players don’t stick around like in the past .. get a few years out of him to protect Cam..

I could be down with this as long as A) the Skins don’t want too much for a 32 year old player who didn’t play this season. And 

B) we don’t give him a long term contract.

He's officially looking for a new contract or a trade, but I think the idea is that whoever he gets traded to will offer him a new contract.

I'm not sold on Little or Daley, but I'm not sure this'd be the way to go either.
