Pros and cons of Jets trading for Redskins LT Trent Williams

The Jets need to weigh the best and worst parts of trading for disgruntled Redskins lineman Trent Williams.

Pro: Veteran experience and mentorship ability

You don’t find many left tackles on the market with as much experience as Williams. He’s started 119 games since 2010 and played for a plethora of quarterbacks and coaches. Williams has seen it all and that will help anyone on the offensive line if the Jets trade for him.

Knowledge is power and having a player with the veteran pedigree that Williams does will only elevate the rest of the offensive line, especially younger players the Jets already have and could bring in via the draft or free agency. Experience and mentorship is an intangible skill that should absolutely be considered when deciding on trading for Williams.
