Reports: Redskins could trade holdout T Williams

The Washington Redskins reportedly are discussing the possibility of trading holdout Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, and the New England Patriots could be a potential landing spot. Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported Wednesday that while it's "unclear what type of compensation" the Redskins could be seeking, there's "a feeling around the league the Patriots would be involved due to depth issues at the position."

Patriots offensive lineman J.J. Dielman retired last week, and the team is short-handed along the offensive line. The Redskins placed Williams on the reserve/did not report list on Saturday after he failed to show up for training camp.

Williams is said to be unhappy with the medical staff after a tumor scare earlier this offseason and also would like at least an "alteration" to his contract. A CBS Sports report earlier this offseason said Williams wanted out of Washington. Williams, who turned 31 earlier this month, has reached seven consecutive Pro Bowls. He has been with the Redskins since 2010, when they took him fourth overall in the NFL draft.
