The Trent Williams saga is still ongoing and with two weeks left until the NFL season opener, the time to deal the left tackle in running a bit thin. While it may be nice for the squad to wait until a truly tackle-needy team makes a godfather offer for the perennial Pro Bowler, their leverage will soon run out if Williams doesn’t report to start the season.
For that reason, it’s a bit odd that the Redskins reportedly had a seemingly solid offer on the table for Williams but weren’t willing to bite.
According to Kevin Sheehan of The Team 980 and JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, the New England Patriots reportedly were will to offer the Redskins a 2020 first-round pick in exchange for Williams.
