NFL teams are starting to report to training camp this week & there are plenty of NFL rumors & news on potential trades, holdouts & contract extensions for a handful of players this NFL offseason. Some of the most notable players involved in these rumors include Julio Jones, Trent Williams, Michael Thomas, Melvin Gordon, Tom Brady & LeSean McCoy. Julio Jones & Michael Thomas are 2 WRs who are expected to sign long-term contract extensions before the 2019 NFL season. Both players want to be paid at least $20 MM per year which would make them the highest paid WRs in the NFL. Julio Jones’ could agree to a new deal with the Falcons as early as this week, while Michael Thomas & the Saints were reportedly $4 MM apart in their latest contract talks.
Some NFL trade rumors coming to light include Melvin Gordon & Trent Williams who are reportedly holding out of NFL training camp. Melvin Gordon wants a new contract & has reportedly told the Chargers to either sign him or trade him before the season. Will we see a Melvin Gordon trade in the near future? Trent Williams is apparently holding out because he is fed up with the Washington Redskins’ medical staff. Redskins doctors discovered a growth on Williams’ head in 2018 & he had surgery on the growth in February. Williams is not happy with how the Redskins have handled his medical situation & he has reportedly demanded to be traded or released from the organization. Trent Williams is widely considered as a top 5 LT in the NFL & he would be a huge loss for the Redskins’ offensive line. Will the Redskins be forced to trade Trent Williams?
