Browns Trade Rumors: Trent Williams Targeted, Redskins 'Open' to Dealing LT

After turning down offers all season, the Washington Redskins are reportedly now "open to dealing" left tackle Trent Williams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. 

The Cleveland Browns are considered a potential suitor for the seven-time Pro Bowler, and the Redskins will at least listen to offers. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Redskins have told teams they have a second-round pick on the table for Williams. Pelissero said "it appears they're holding out for a first-rounder."

Williams has been a holdout since training camp and hasn't appeared in a game yet this season for the 1-7 Redskins. 

The Browns have been aggressive in seeking a potential deal, but the Redskins had reportedly been hesitant to deal away the tackle.

"[Browns general manager John] Dorsey has been trying to get Williams for basically six weeks," a league source told Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports. "But [Redskins president] Bruce Allen just refuses to trade him. It's all Bruce. He won't do it."

It appears the team's stance has softened ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, giving the Browns an opening to make a deal.

Cleveland could be desperate to complete the move after falling to 2-5 with Sunday's 27-13 loss to the New England Patriots, which saw quarterback Baker Mayfield get sacked five times.

Greg Robinson was benched in favor of Justin McCray in Week 8, but it didn't add much stability up front.

According to Jeff Schudel of the News-Herald, the Browns could include either Robinson or McCray in a trade package for Williams.
