Report: Redskins feel confident Trent Williams will return in 2020

After declaring that he would never be a Redskin again, the dominos have started to fall in the right direction as Trent considers a return.

Boy how the tides have turned when it comes to the Trent Williams situation in Washington.

After the seven-time Pro-Bowler held out for much of the 2019 season and declared that he would never be a Redskin again, things have mellowed out quite a bit, thanks in large part to the team placing a new head coach at the helm and ridding of former team president Bruce Allen. Now, according to a report from the Washington Post, the Redskins feel confident that Williams will return for the 2020 season.

New Coach Ron Rivera remains intent on convincing Williams to rejoin the team, according to that person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Getting Williams to play for the Redskins again is “still a huge focus for Ron,” the person said, adding that the “tea leaves” indicate Williams will be back.

Williams’ return to the Redskins would be monumental in many ways. Not only would it shore up one of the team’s biggest needs on the offensive line, but it would also set the tone for a growing culture within the locker room and give the young core a time-tested leader to follow.
