And just like that the Trent Williams holdout has ended. The NFL’s trade deadline came and went and the Redskins weren’t able to get a deal done to move the Pro Bowl Left Tackle. Williams has now returned to the team, likely expecting to accrue a season, and get closer to free agency.
Dan Graziano says that might not be the way things go down. Since Williams was still holding out when the deadline passed, the Redskins will have to request that he be reinstated by Roger Goodell. There have been reports that Williams still has to recover from previous injuries.
