Adrian Peterson says he expects Trent Williams, one of his best friends and business partner, back for training camp.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) June 5, 2019
He declines to answer whether or not Trent told him that, but "I don't see why he wouldn't be."
.@JasonLaCanfora reports that Trent Williams wants to be traded or released and he's vowed not to play for the #Redskins again, due to their handling of a recent medical situation. Adrian Peterson, Morgan Moses and Jay Gruden give their thoughts. @NBC12 pic.twitter.com/FeOMyWkTyJ

To cut to the chase the issue going on with Trent Williams and several other players I have spoken to over the past few years is the distrust with the #Redskins team doctors and lack of communication. Perhaps Williams status on the team gives him a platform to bring it to light?

Redskins tackle Morgan Moses said of Trent Williams not showing up in part because of dissatisfaction with how the growth on his head was treated this offseason.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 5, 2019
"It's about time someone like that stands up," Moses said. "It's not just a situation here; it happens throughout...
Yes I do. They don’t have to do anything. Have refused trade requests in the past. (Garcon).
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 6, 2019
The #Redskins need to do a better job of this. Jay Gruden is constantly asked to speak for/defend/explain the actions of way too many people. He's a football coach, who has to speak. But he should be able to mostly talk about football. Instead, asked to be a doctor/GM/psychic. https://t.co/mLjVqmwGcK

Quinton Dunbar returned to the field today and said he felt “awesome.” The cornerback finished last season on IR due to a nerve injury in his leg. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/a7hZgIUJLz

Surprised at how many people were against a possible Trent extension/reworked deal yesterday.
— Hogs Haven (@HogsHaven) June 5, 2019
He's the best player on the team, and the Redskins have very few blue-chip players. They can easily work a deal that won't significantly alter cap, and we're only talking a few $M/year https://t.co/nxC7w2gEyT
There’s a reason he waited till now to do this. He knows he’s got them over a barrel. Not exactly the most professional approach. How would the Patriots handle something like this...? https://t.co/zyWGbaLd2F
— BGObsession.com (@BGObsession) June 5, 2019
It’s kind of a gut punch when you look at this Trent Williams situation. This fan base has shown him nothing but love and respect since he got here in 2010. Then we made him the highest paid LT in 2015. I get that the NFL has evolved to this, but come on man, we don’t need this.
— Redskins Realm (@SkinsRealm) June 4, 2019
...and PLEASE don't play the "Trent has been loyal" card. So have the #Redskins. Stuck with him through TWO drug suspension. They left the "C" on his chest and they took a bit of criticism for doing so. So miss me with the "bad ole Redskins" talk. #HTTR #Skins

Theres a reason guys get injured and then never come back 100%. They definitely didnt tell us the whole story with Sua and what's been going on with Dunbar is suspect af
— LP (@SpanishSavage) June 5, 2019
A few observations from Redskins minicamp work: 1) Terry McLaurin ran a terrific double move vs. Jimmy Moreland and left him behind. Credit to Moreland, though, for good makeup and for not holding – an official at the camp complimented him on how he played the ball. But...
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 4, 2019
Was just in a 10 min scrum with Tomsula and it was excellent. Highlights:
— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) June 5, 2019
-The 6 D-linemen are working with Sweat whenever possible. Called 90 “freakish”
-Those guys, plus Manusky, are why Tomsula returned
-He’s very impressed with Brantley’s commitment
-Repeat: He LOVES his 6
The Redskins offense largely lacked the speed element once DeSean Jackson exited Ashburn. That fast element is back and ideally big plays as well. Perhaps the only debate is which WR runs fastest.

#Redskins HC Jay Gruden says Alex Smith told him that he expects to get the external fixator off his leg in "about a month. "
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) June 5, 2019
Almost all of the questions for Gruden are about Trent Williams. Gruden volleying as best as possible without much to say. Whether issue is contractual or medical, that's between Trent and his side and others in the building.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 5, 2019
"Yes. He better be!"
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) June 5, 2019
- Jay Gruden (with a smile) on whether or not Derrius Guice will be ready for #Redskins Training Camp
Gruden acknowledges Williams is frustrated about the diagnosis of his scalp. But he says Williams didn’t tell him that was the reason he was skipping minicamp.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 5, 2019
"Right now, Trey [Quinn] is the only one who can catch it"
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) June 5, 2019
- Jay Gruden on whether Quinn will get Punt Return duties for the #Redskins
Gruden says Trey Quinn has separated himself from the other slot receivers on the roster.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 5, 2019
Gruden says he doesn’t know why Williams is absent. The contractual stuff is out of his hands. The medical stuff is out of his hands.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) June 5, 2019
(We asked for a front office person. That request was declined.)
Gruden says he found out earlier this week that Trent’s displeasure, whether medical or contractual, rose to the level that he wouldn’t be here. It had been expressed, but this sounds like a surprise on some level.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) June 5, 2019
For the 2nd day in a row, Josh Norman chose not to speak with reporters. He went to a hospitality tent & then had a #Redskins employee drive him on a golf cart around the building & practice fields so he didn't have to drive thru media or be asked. Whatever.

Navorro Bowman, a four-time All-Pro linebacker for the 49ers who may unfortunately be best remembered for suffering a horrible injury while making a great play, has officially retired https://t.co/A5pIKZw0Nm
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) June 4, 2019
The #Browns informed former starting LT Desmond Harrison yesterday they were releasing him. My understanding is, he starting missing or being late to responsibilities. A player with a ton of talent who’ll now go on waivers.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 5, 2019
People ask me the biggest difference right now between Eli Manning and Daniel Jones. I think it’s this: Jones has more of a propensity to push the ball deep and with more accuracy, while Manning continues to check down and there seems to be an erosion of arm strength. #Giants pic.twitter.com/5TO5E2Oe1g
