Would be a great get. I would trade a 2nd (this year or next) and a player or a 5th for him. Perfect stopgap 3 to 4 year player for us. Gives draft flexibility... What say bbi?
My preference would be to build through the draft and keep the team young. Not sure what is contract demands would be. I like where we are with the cap, in regards to next. The contracts this FA, where structured wisely. Not tied into any one, really long term. Hopefully we can resign some of our own home grown players.
His age and injury history are preclusive, especially given his contract demands and the cost in terms of draft capital and players needed to acquire him.
Might not want to trade with us... But at his age and position he really isn't in a position to embarrass them. I guess the best offer takes him. Snyder is a reactive guy,so you never know. I'd be surprised if they straight out release him though.
I’m not trading a second round pick this year (especially) or next. Trent Williams doesn’t turn this team into a contender. No single player turns this Giants team into a contender. Now the Eagles or Seahawks may feel differently about such a proposition.
Part of the solution either... We need players this year, next year and years after. At the right price I'd definitely get him. You can't just say not this year... Good players make a difference. There are so many reasons to pursue him. He's got at least 4 high level years, and I hope to be a winner before that.
Not only do they need to give up an early 2nd but they need to pay him. The Giants are not ready to compete next year why invest so much in a 32 year old OT when they could just use that pick on a young draft pick with a cap number $10+ less than Williams. I’m sorry trading for Williams makes no sense.
If we're picking high in the draft again, and we probably will be, we'll get the young, hungry talent. We might even get the future LT at #4 next month.
Give up choices and sign him to big bucks? He’s 32 years old. Many of you have emphatically stated we’re years away from seriously contending, right? Build from the draft
But we've made other questionable Williams trades before... 😂
This is a deep OT draft class and there will be some good options available in round 2 if the Giants do not take one in round 1. Isaiah Wilson, Ezra Cleveland, Lucas Niang, Robert Hunt, and Prince Tega Wanogho are all options in round 2.
Has an injury history and would cost too much. He would keep us from adding other needed pieces down the road with what he's looking of price wise. By the time his useful life would be up we would probably just be ready to compete and then we are back to square one looking for a LT.
If we were a LT away I would be all for it. But we are not.
‘Skins ain’t trading Trent Williams to the Giants PERIOD

This. Though if Reese were still around drafting the Marvin Austin’s I get the sentiment as he would most likely pass on The next Anthony Munoz for this years Mike Mamula but still no f’in way
No way do I give the Skins draft capital for a player who has been injured, missed a ton of time and may well be on the downside of his career.
Free Agent, sure I get a good deal done and then bring him on. No way I trade for him and have to give him a new deal.
TW has a history of playing at a high level, but also the injuries tally and constant bitching about his contract.
Patience.
There will be strong interest from a number of playoff contenders is my guess, anyway.

But if he gets cut, he could be an intriguing signing, other then a few bone bruises early in his career he's been healthy.
Could really solidity the oline and allow the Giants to either trade back or take Simmons.
Hasn’t played 16 games since 2013
Hasn’t played 15 games since 2014
Hasn’t played 14 games since 2015
He is hurt every year
If he is cut, that is entirely different scenario
