Redskins OL Williams skips camp over contract

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams did not attend the mandatory minicamp Tuesday, letting the team know he wanted to re-do his contract.

Williams, who is under contract through 2020, is not expected to attend the final two days of the minicamp. The NFL Network first reported Williams' desires for a new contract. Redskins coach Jay Gruden said the matter was between Williams, his agent, Redskins president Bruce Allen and senior vice president of football operations Eric Schaffer.

The Redskins weren't caught off-guard as Gruden said they had been talking to Williams.
