The #Redskins are now open to dealing LT Trent Williams, but they aren’t just asking for draft picks. I’m told they are big-game hunting, asking for players like CB Denzel Ward in return. Which… is a non-starter.

Trent Williams has reported back to the Redskins...
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 29, 2019
The Redskins held firm to what they wanted for Trent Williams. Nobody came close; value in trade wasn't what others maybe felt, based on what i've heard from a few people. Age/injury history/hasn't played since Dec..Now that he's back? Who the heck knows what's next.
— John Keim (@john_keim) October 29, 2019
If I’m the #Redskins I corner Trent and present him with a new deal. Angry or not with his holdout, there is no denying what his absence has meant to the offense and possible immediate development of Dwayne Haskins. It would be nice to see both on the field at some point soon.
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) October 29, 2019
Assuming that Trent Williams doesn't play, you'd have to think the #Redskins go after him & this winds up in some sort of arbitration between team & NFLPA. There's no way Bruce allows him to get the year counted & yet refuses to play.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) October 29, 2019
Trent Williams made sure to report before 4 p.m. to get paid this season. Here's what that means for his contract moving forward: https://t.co/H1758fTTwA pic.twitter.com/R6TfW3ofCc
— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) October 29, 2019
So about this. Obviously he has since reported in the last...*checks watch*...24 minutes.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 29, 2019
However I don’t think this changes. He does not want to play for the #Redskins. I would imagine he wants to be IR’d. This is a game over money and control. He is exercising his options. https://t.co/h2p154vLwj
The other part here: I don’t think they were getting the offers right now everyone thinks. But now an odd situation has been created. Have a guy in locker room who didn’t want to be there. What’s the impact? What does he say to media? Man.

Bruce Allen gonna make Bill Callahan have a presser about Trent..... we won’t hear from Bruce for month

I actually do feel bad for some of the guys in the #Redskins' front office when stories like Bruce Allen asking for Denzel Ward in a Trent Williams trade come out.

They have smart, qualified, competent people. That does no get mentioned during the Allen zing fest that follows.
Halfway through the NFL season, a look at the “race” for the number 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) October 29, 2019
1. Dolphins: 0-7
2. Bengals: 0-8
3. Redskins: 1-7
4. Falcons: 1-7
5. Jets: 1-6
6. Giants: 2-6
7. Broncos: 2-6
8. Buccaneers: 2-6
9. Browns: 2-5
10. Chargers: 3-5
Dolphins started this tank season with one goal in mind. Now the Redskins, Jets and Bengals want to poach our No. 1 pick. Miami planned for this. You other losers just screwed up. We didn’t come all this way, sacrifice what we sacrificed to draft No. 1. Time to finish strong. pic.twitter.com/qSrWhsQgMF

Just watched back all of Haskins snaps from Thursday on the coach's tape.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 29, 2019
Don't have to tell you it wasn't great. Just doesn't anticipate what's going to happen well yet. That leads to missed open receivers. It's why I think it's time for him to play and get used to the speed.
About to hop on a flight to Oakland for a workout tomorrow. Send good vibes for the boy

I’ll probably wear my “Gruden Grinder” shirt from 2016 for the workout. Might help my chances

James Conner suffered an AC joint injury Monday night. RB Benny Snell suffered a knee injury. RB Jaylen Samuels is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery performed less than a month ago. It all leaves only one healthy running back, Trey Edmunds, on Pittsburgh’s 53-man roster.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) October 29, 2019
So far, Freddy Kitchens is still looking for answers. His quarterback has not progressed, and his offense lacks the same aggression and creativity of a year ago despite talent upgrades, and his team is suffering from a lack of discipline. https://t.co/g3uLM3uoID via @usatoday
— Mike Jones (@ByMikeJones) October 29, 2019
Brett Rypien is expected to be promoted from practice squad and become Brad Allen's backup, per source close to Elway. Broncos keeping to plan to have Drew Lock wait until after bye to start practicing, source said.
— Mike Klis (@MikeKlis) October 29, 2019
The plan is Brandon Allen-Brett Rypien for a few. #9sports

After Packers fans spent 2018 complaining the Mike McCarthy didn't "commit to the run", the Packers are now the 3rd pass-heaviest team in 2019 pic.twitter.com/AJsVaump4K
if the dolphins and bengals are both 0-14 entering their week 16 game, we need to cover that like the super bowl
— charles (ronald) mcdonald (@FourVerts) October 28, 2019
Interesting note on the transformation of the Packers offense - they were 31st in running back receptions last season because McCarthy very rarely designed plays for their backs in space.
— Brett Kollmann (@BrettKollmann) October 29, 2019
This year with the exact same backfield, they are tied for 3rd. Talent wasn't the problem.
All I know is that if I was tanking, this is probably the defense I’d call on 3rd-and-20. pic.twitter.com/5S8ZxubyYs

Ump doesn't call strike three. Tells Gomes he was taking off on him. Gomes replies 'Oh it's my fault?"

Stephen Strasbirg went 8.1 innings and allowed just 3 hits and 0 runs after the first inning. Remember when everybody made fun of him all the time?
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 30, 2019
His mental evolution is one of the most dramatic maturation I've ever seen in sports. It should be talked about constantly.

#StephenStrasburg. From delicate flower to clutch AF. One of the greatest playoff performances in D.C. sports history. #Nats #WorldSeriesGame6.
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) October 30, 2019
I asked a few Nats players after Game 5 if umpires gave Victor Robles leeway he wouldn't get in regular season when he started tossing equipment at ump after a bad strike 3 call. They said probably. In May he's gone. Davey Martinez deserved same treatment. The stakes are too high

How is Trea Turner interfering while stepping ON the first base bag? He was literally on the bag when the glove was dislodged.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) October 30, 2019
That was a TERRIBLE call in a massive moment. From 2nd and 3rd with nobody out to 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Good lord.
Has any manager ever been ejected from Game 6 of a World Series game?
