Trent Williams Denies Rejecting Trade to Vikings Which Means the Redskins Are up to Something
By Thomas Carannante
Who's to trust? The team known for making slimy organizational moves when it comes to players and personnel, or the man who sat out an entire season because said team's medical staff failed to make a proper diagnosis that could have cost him his life?
We'll go with the latter, which is why Trent Williams' latest comments about the Washington Redskins claiming he didn't want to be traded to the Minnesota Vikings make us think the team is up to something fishy in regards to a bidding war.
According to NFL Network, the Vikings were informed Williams did not want to play for them as the two sides were discussing a trade, in which Minnesota upped its offer to two Day 3 draft picks. Williams denied that was ever the case. Previous reports suggested the Vikes were one of Williams' preferred destinations and the two sides discussed a trade for over a month.
It's quite possible this false information was leaked by the Redskins in hopes of them getting a better deal. After all, Williams is an All-Pro talent and it's clear Washington isn't going to move him for nothing. Perhaps new rumors suggesting the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are the new teams to watch in any potential deal, don't be surprised when more info leaks that the Skins had better offers from these two teams and nixed talks with the Vikings by leaking Williams' alleged preferences.
The ugly situation continues to get uglier and quite frankly football fans cannot wait until Williams is able to get out of the nation's capital.
