Amid tensions between Trent Williams and Washington, the offensive tackle's agent released a statement asking for him to be traded or released.
Vincent Taylor, Williams's agent, issued a statement explaining ongoing problems with seeking trades for his client.
"The relationship between [Washington] and Trent Williams has reached a point where it's in the best interest that [Washington] trade or release him," Taylor said.
Taylor said the team "was unable (or unwilling) to negotiate a trade for Williams" and then gave Williams's representatives the right to seek a trade. After trade options were presented to the team, Washington provided "inconstant demands" on what it wanted in return for a trade.
