The Washington Redskins are now open to pursuing a trade involving hold-out left tackle Trent Williams, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on Monday.
The reports suggests the Redskins have started the process at looking at potential suitors ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. It is not known what the team is seeking for Williams, who is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection.
The Cleveland Browns are reportedly interested in Williams, who is said to be unhappy with the Redskins’ medical staff after a tumor scare this past offseason. A growth on his head was removed, but it was not considered to be a serious issue.
Williams requested a trade earlier this season, but the team elected to outlast his holdout instead, which has been unsuccessful.
The 31-year-old Williams is also said to want an “alteration” to his contract. The former fourth overall pick has two years left on a five-year, $66 million deal.
