We know that the Washington Redksins are likely to trade away left tackle Trent Williams this offseason, but the question is how much they get for him in return.
As is customary in the NFL, player-for-player trades rarely get made anymore, so the question is how high of a draft pick the Redksins can get from a willing team. Ideally, a player of Williams’ stature would get a first-round pick in return, but due to his demands for a contract extension that is likely to cost at least $20 million per season, it seems that a second-round pick is the ceiling.
However, Ralph Vacchiano, with SNY, says that the New York Jets could offer their two third-round picks in exchange for the 31-year-old.

The Redskins don’t have a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, but adding a couple of third-rounders could help them fill a lot of needs that they have on the roster.
It’s not as juicy of an offer as they may desire, but it could potentially be the best offer that they will get, seeing as whichever team takes Williams on will have to fork over a large chunk of salary cap right away.
