Last season, the Washington Redskins suffered a big offseason loss when Trent Williams announced that he would be holding out in late June. While some expected that Williams’ holdout was related to money, it was actually related to a medical issue that had been misdiagnosed by the Redskins staff.
After suffering a health scare, Williams vowed never to play for the Redskins again and demanded a trade. Bruce Allen wouldn’t budge and reportedly didn’t even dangle Williams as a trade asset until the 11th hour of the NFL’s pre-trade deadline period. That led to more tension and Williams didn’t play at all in 2020 as a result.
