According to various reports from throughout the NFL landscape, the new regime in our nation's capital will let Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams to seek a trade away from the Washington Redskins. With Williams sitting out for the entirety of last season after not seeing eye to eye with the NFC East franchise regarding significant injury concerns.
With a storm brewing for quite some time between these two sides, it appears as though Williams will be suiting up for a different NFL franchise next season, which would mark the first such instance of his professional playing career.
“Trent is excited to resume his Pro Bowl career with a team interested in a player of his stature,” Williams' agent Vincent Taylor said, via Ben Standig of The Athletic. “We really appreciate and respect [team owner] Dan Snyder for the chance to seek another opportunity. This isn't about a contract, but time for a change of scenery.”
It is also worth noting that Williams is gearing up to enter the final season of a five-year, $68 million contract that he initially signed with the Redskins. Even so, there will surely be a long line of suitors waiting to offer the Redskins a substantial package in exchange for Williams' services.
It seems as though the surging Tennessee Titans won't be able to retain starting right tackle Jack Conklin this offseason, leaving the AFC South franchise with a massive hole heading into free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft. One way to solidify one of the best offensive lines in the NFL? Pair Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams with another Pro Bowler in Titans starting left tackle Taylor Lewan.
Whether it is a few players, NFL Draft capital, or a combination of the two, the Titans and general manager Jon Robinson should seriously consider adding Williams to the fold — especially if the team is going to retain superstar running back and soon-to-be free agent Derrick Henry.
The Titans reached the AFC Championship Game as a result of this past season, but Tennessee has several key players gearing up to become free agents. If this team is going to be successful once again next season, the Titans will absolutely need to replace Conklin or even improve at the right tackle position.

It had previously been reported that the struggling New York Jets would be the top suitor for Tennessee Titans right tackle and soon-to-be free agent Jack Conklin this offseason. Although such a report has since been shot down as Conklin will more than likely have several very interested suitors this offseason, the Jets are looking to add an impactful presence along the offensive front before the start of the 2020 campaign.
With a slew of young players and some solid NFL Draft picks to dish out, the Jets should absolutely pursue Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams. If the Jets are going to succeed, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell will need to up the ante going forward. If Bell is going to improve and put up the big numbers that are expected of him, the Jets newcomer is going to need some serious help upfront.
With a young and up-and-coming signal-caller in Sam Darnold under center as well, them middling Jets can seriously use all the help they can get these days — and fast.
Reports have begun circulating surrounding the likelihood that the Philadelphia Eagles allow veteran left tackle Jason Peters to hit the open market as a free agent this offseason. If that is ultimately going to be the case in Philadelphia with Peters now 38 years old, the Eagles are going to need to replace such a presence at a primary position — and in a big way as the NFC East franchise notably possesses one of the more injury-prone quarterbacks in the league in Carson Wentz.
Not only that, but the Eagles can potentially kill two birds with one stone here. Philadelphia would be able to add a legitimate perennial Pro Bowler in Washington Redskins disgruntled left tackle Trent Williams to the fold while helping to tear down an NFC East rival in the process. Additionally, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys should both be competitive in 2020-21, which will require the Eagles to keep up this offseason.
While replacing Peters is a must due to his steady productivity, it shouldn't be too hard to do as the Eagles have the talent to unload some players in a potential deal with the Redskins for Williams.
