ASHBURN — Trent Williams grabbed the collection of jerseys he exchanged with opposing players and carried them out of his locker. The Washington Redskins‘ left tackle returned to the locker room and sat on a black leather couch as his teammates played cards, just like they have all season.
There was Matt Jones, the Redskins‘ rookie running back who perhaps is the future of the position if pending free agent Alfred Morris does not return. There was veteran nose tackle Terrance Knighton, signed this season on a one-year deal, who provided leadership and helped shaped the culture change that washed over a Redskins team that won just seven games in the previous two years.
