Trent Williams agent Vincent Taylor speaks out on ‘false reporting’

Trent Williams and his agent are claiming that reports he nixed a trade with the Vikings are false, and they’re continuing to cooperate.

Washington Redskins left tackle Trent Williams has now had his agent, Vincent Taylor, speak out on his behalf, working to clear up some of the rumblings going on concerning Williams’ ongoing trade situation.

In a statement that was released by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Taylor made it clear that he believes there was false reporting that painted his client in a bad light.

“There has been false reporting that Trent and I objected to particular trades,” Taylor wrote. “I will continue to continue to respect the Redskins right to negotiate a trade, and hope that negotiations quickly lead to a trade that is in the Redskins interest, Trent’s interest, and the interest of the other team.”

All of this is stemming from a report that the Redskins had a deal virtually done with the Minnesota Vikings that would land Williams on a playoff contender with a couple of Day 3 draft picks coming back to Washington. The report stated that Williams made it clear that he wished not to play in Minnesota, so trade talks stopped.

The message from Taylor doesn’t do much to clear up the situation, only stating that they believe the reports that Williams nixed the trade are false. Believe who you want.
