Browns Trade Rumors: Redskins' Trent Williams 'Still on the Table' Before Draft

A trade by the Cleveland Browns for Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams is reportedly "still on the table" heading into the 2020 NFL draft. 

ESPN's Josina Anderson reported Tuesday "nothing is imminent or super close right now," but the Browns remain interested in the seven-time Pro Bowl selection.

Vince Taylor, Williams' agent, released a statement to ESPN on March 24 saying the Redskins had shown "no interest in negotiating in good faith" after asking them to seek possible landing spots:

"Despite its knowledge of the irreconcilable differences, Washington was unable (or unwilling) to negotiate a trade of Williams. The team then gave Williams and his representatives the right to seek trading partners. Williams' representatives provided the team with trading options, but the Redskins have shown no interest in negotiating in good faith, and, in fact, have given inconsistent demands on what it wants in return for a trade."

One day later, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reported the Redskins weren't willing to accept less than fair market value for the standout tackle, meaning they wanted more than a second-round pick.

"They're not being stubborn," a source told Finlay.

Williams is set to enter the final season of a five-year, $68 million contract with the Redskins. He's sought a new deal from the organization since last June and missed the entire 2019 season.

He's been one of the league's best tackles since Washington selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft. He ranked 11th among all offensive linemen in approximate value over his first nine years in the league, per Pro Football Reference.

The Browns would be a perfect fit with a void to fill at left tackle opposite Jack Conklin. It's unclear whether Cleveland will meet the Skins' asking price before the draft gets underway Thursday, though.
