Trent Williams, back to the drawing board

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
