Breaking: Trent Williams demands trade or release from the Redskins
In what would be a crazy day for most franchises, probably amounts for about a regular Wednesday for the Washington Redskins, as their franchise left tackle Trent Williams skipped mandatory minicamp and was the subject of multiple reports Wednesday.
First he was supposed to be vying for a new contract….
Reports were surging in that Williams absence may be related to his contract which has looked smaller and smaller as the cap increases. Leading to rumors of his unhappiness.
#Redskins LT Trent Williams, not spotted in the building this morning, wants a new deal, I’m told. His deal was huge when he signed out, but the market has shifted greatly. https://t.co/12AFhn394d
