All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams and his contentious relationship with the Redskins continues into November as he wasn’t moved prior to the NFL trade deadline, despite holding out so far this year. There are many disagreements Williams has had with the team, but this one stands out, courtesy of Barstool Sports.
Well here’s your daily Trent Williams update, and it’s juicy. As it turns out, he was diagnosed with cancer six years ago and the team doctors said it was all good. Classic mixup. But good news, the team was there for him through the process…oh wait, no they weren’t. They were s—bags as always.
Unreal. No Bruce. No Dan. No nothing. Just a classless, pathetic group they have there in the front office.
It sounds like a lawsuit or two is in order following the callous nature of the people in charge. It’ll also be tough to sign free agents to a team proven to not care about it players.
Williams has faced a litany of injuries over the years — missing 21 games over the last four seasons — but is one of the game’s best left tackles when healthy and motivated.
He skipped minicamp in June — an indication that all wasn’t well between the two sides.
Williams, who’s under contract for 2019 and 2020 at base salaries of $11 million and $12.5 million, turned 31 in July.
He returned to the team Tuesday after not being traded prior to the deadline, but failed a physical due to his helmet not fitting properly over the surgically repaired area of his head.
Williams was drafted by the Redskins with the fourth pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He’s a seven-time Pro Bowler and was named second-team All-Pro in 2015.
