For God's sake, man, don't call for that moron.

I'd love for Flowers to fail upwards into another starting job.

La Canfora is a hack. He is more wrong than right

ace is usually NOT in the house once things @ Skins Central predictably deteriorate per usual.

Same song and dance every year.

Talks a big game about the Redskins in the offseason, then, as soon as the ship starts sinking, he vanishes until the next year.

Rinse, repeat!

Dude was still owed $23.5M over this year and next, seemed like a dick move to hold out.

But this makes a helluva lot more sense now. Good for him telling them to pound sand.

‘Skins medical staff has had a number of ef-ups recently, including their QB and RB getting infections after surgery. Made me wonder if Synder “sold” the rights to being team doctor rather than lining up the best in the area. (Of course, even he has a point re the doctors you know he would get over it with a salary bump.)

There should be a few teams interested in his services. He won't be teams knocking the door down for his services but the Jets are desperate for OL help.

The Browns, Jaguars, Panthers, Cardinals, and Seahawks could have some interest as well

La Canfora is the former local beat writer for the Skins. He's very connected to that team. Not others, but the Skins he has sources.

We have no idea if any of this is true. Nobody has directly heard from Williams himself.

Everything is heresay at this point.

If it is true, I would have no issues trading Williams for a 1st or 2nd Rd pick.

He's 30 (31 very soon) hasn't played 16 games in a season in some time, yet has been to 7 straight pro bowls I believe.

But he's a hell of a LT, when healthy.
I'm betting Houston or Cleveland would be interested.

If these rumors are true, I would trade him & get some good draft resources. (Or for a player)

I would also claim LT Desmond Harrison off waivers.

I'm not worried...
2020 is supposed to have very good Tackles in that draft class.

I doubt anyone gives up a 1st for someone on the wrong side of 30 who hasn't played a full season in a while. It only takes one though to make me wrong...

.

Maybe by sweetening his deal, even if it isn't the reason for the hold out. If they do traded him, they are losing a helluva player (when healthy) and they will not be getting a 1st round pick in return. I'd be surprised if they go a 2nd round pick, they should consider themselves lucky if they get a 3rd rounder, and most likely we are talking about a 4th round pick.

But I guess it depends on how teams feel about his injury history and what that means down the road. 31 isn't old for an OL if he's not too beat up. I wonder if the Patriots will be interested. There are plenty of teams who could use a Pro Bowl left tackle. It won't be a NFC East team that lands him, that's for sure, and if the Redskins are smart, they will ship him to the AFC.

LOL you’re more delusional than I thought if you think a team is going to give a 1st or 2nd for a 31 year old LT with his injury history this late into the offseason. Houston just drafted two OT’s in the first two rounds plus they signed Matt Kalil in free agency.

Why would you be worried about losing your LT? It’s not like the Redskins just drafted an immobile QB in the 1st round. I’m sure he will be fine with Ereck Flowers protecting his blindside.

LOL!!!

never fails to deliver the comedy. Who is paying a 1st rounder when the team offering him has no leverage, the player is over 30 and has been setback with injuries?

Unless Snyder can trade with himself, there's no way a 1st rounder is getting exchanged here.

So wait. We trade a 1st or 2nd for him, then try to trade him to Houston or Cleveland and get some good draft resources for him? We trade draft picks to get draft picks with the team we trade him to knowing what we got him for????
Pure brilliance there, ace.

What would Trent Williams give us that Nate Solder doesn't give us? He might be an upgrade if healthy, but I'd rather have Solder for 16 games than Williams for 12. The Giants wouldn't be interested.

They're screwed without him. He's their franchise player on the offensive line and makes their offense go.

Section125 - whenever Ace refers to "I/We", it is in reference to the Skins. Ace is a Skins fan trolling a Giants board.

over Giants fans. They're blindly optimistic.
