With two days to go before the Redskins’ season opener, Trent Williams‘ status remains in limbo. However, the offensive tackle is in town and talking with teammates (via Les Carpenter of the Washington Post). 
On Thursday, running back Adrian Peterson slipped and told reporters that he saw Williams, in person, on Wednesday night. However, he declined to speculate as to whether this means Williams will be rejoining the team.
“I don’t know,” Peterson said. “I don’t want to get into all that. It’s Thursday, he won’t be in this week for sure. But that’s not really what we talked about. We just caught up and saw how he was doing and how things are going for him.”
For now, the Redskins are refusing to trade Williams, and they plan to start Donald Penn at left tackle in the interim.
Trade him for AB
Williams wants to go home to Texas not Limbo/eventually Las Vegas. Gruden Jr (Jay) doesn’t have a big personality and can’t deal with space cases in the same way his brother Jon can. AB on the Washington squad would really upset chemistry.
Granted, AB plus Dwayne Haskins big and accurate arm could be very interesting. But to give Haskins time to throw, the Redskins need Williams. Otherwise, Case Keenum is a better bet behind what is a fairly porous offensive line.
Jay can’t work with space cases? How long can they keep him from finding out that Daniel Snyder is the owner?
