TRENT WILLIAMS
T, WASHINGTON REDSKINS

NBC Sports' JP Finlay reports the Redskins wants a package that gets second round value for LT Trent Williams.
Finlay noted that Washington is speaking with multiple teams, but they remain focused on getting fair compensation back in any deal. They're reportedly willing to be flexible about how a team wants to creates a fair package worthy of second round value, although the market could be drying up just a bit after the Browns and Jets each took offensive tackles in the first round. Williams has been one of the league's best blindside protectors for years and would be an upgrade for most, if not all, teams. The Vikings have been a trendy contender according to recent reports.

All we have to do is offer a 3rd and Reiff and that can easily be construed as 2nd round value. Just get this done already.

I don't want Williams anyway, he's too old, costs too much, and hasn't played a full season in forever. He's a short term upgrade when this team needs to look long term. RT's are easy to find in the upcoming rounds and O'Neil should be able to play LT if he's as good as everyone thinks he is.

No, Keep O'Neill on the right side. The problem with our O-Line is that we keep moving people all about. We need to STOP doing that.

Tackles starting out their career on the right side then moving to left when they gain experience is very common. It's much more rare to start a rookie at LT unless he's one of the top picks in the draft.

The problem with our O-line is it was neglected for so long and the scouting has been rather poor.

Too old? He is just 31 years old, so I guess you want Peters instead who is 38 years old?

What would lead you to guess that?

I wish we could use less snide and ridiculous communication on this board, myself included when I'm guilty of it.
