I don’t see it. They could have traded him for a 3rd by now. And they’d have 31 offers for a 3rd if that were the case.
Not so sure about that. The guy is damaged goods (hasn't played a full season since 2013) and wants to be the highest paid tackle in football.
Trent Williams is not playing for a team who brushed his fucking cancer aside for over 2 years. His guaranteed money is all paid. They either cut him or take a cap hit and his salary to sit all year again. They have no leverage here and the longer they wait, the less they will get.
Their best move is a trade. No cap hit, and dump his salary. A few respected sources I saw last night said it may take a 3rd plus something, but it won’t be higher than a 3rd. Who knows, but I think it’s possible.
Crazy rumor floating around that the Browns would like to move up to #2, assuming to take Chase Young. Not buying it. Wouldn't hate it though.

Doesn’t everyone want to? I haven’t seen a single sourced person say it. Just random fans on the internet. The Trent Williams thing has legs, the #2 doesn’t seem to. But if it happened, insert Randy Marsh gif.

I don't buy that at all.
Love the rumor season right now. People just floating shit out there lol
How much would it cost us to move up 8 spots though? Probably would have to include giving up first round pick next year.

And then some.
We have DE’s, good ones...that rumor is dumb af.
Yeah, it would take a shit ton to move that high. Unless OBJ was involved (which I hope not). Not worth it.

No thank you....

This. It doesn’t improve our team.
That being said...anyone have a feeling they’re gonna screw this up tonight?
I actually feel pretty good about the draft this year. I’m expecting a OT tonight and then a S (Delpit or winfield) in 2nd round. Those are the biggest needs and we should be able to find starters at 10 and 41.

Depends if they trade back. If you can get one of the top four OT’s, it’ll be hard to call it a screw up. A lot of people like any of the top 4. If Wills falls that’s who I want. Or Thomas. Wirfs Probly not falling, and I dunno about Becton.

I’m with you. I’m just thinking they won’t take one of those 4 OL guys and do something weird that I’ll hate.

If Simmons falls I won’t hate it, not much else I would like though.
Guy on the OBR claiming he has a source saying a 3rd, a 4th and some draft pick next year for Trent Williams. Claiming it's a "done deal." Fwiw, the guy is an established poster. Also sounds like they have a deal in place to trade down with Atlanta if their guy isn't there.
