RICHMOND, Va. -- New Washington Redskins left tackle Donald Penn wanted to join a team that gave him a chance to start. So he reached out to a friend for advice: Trent Williams.
And Penn signed with the team from which Williams remains estranged.
Penn kept his conversation private, but his comments led to speculation about what that meant for Williams' future in Washington. There doesn't appear to be an end in sight in his holdout.
"Trent's one of my good friends. I reached out to Trent before I signed and we had a good conversation," Penn said.
