The mood has all changed between the Washington Redskins and Trent Williams over the last month or so thanks to Ron Rivera.
While things sound like they could be headed for a reunion, it’s starting to make its way public that money could be the final hurdle in the way.
“We’re working through the details,” Rivera said at the combine, according to ESPN.com’s John Keim. “We’re in a good place, a good conversation and we’re going to go from there.”
But Keim goes on to note he’s been told Williams wants to be the NFL’s “highest-paid tackle.”
It’s an odd impasse from one perspective because Williams just missed an entire season. But on the other hand, he’s one of the best left tackles in the league, has one year left with no guaranteed cash and only checks in as the 10th highest-paid tackle on the market in 2020.
But at this point, after massive changes to the coaching staff and front office, plus plenty of cap space, it’s hard to imagine the Redskins don’t take this final step and make something happen on this front.
