Members of the Washington Redskins are denying rumors of an impending Trent Williams trade — as far as they know.
According to John Keim of ESPN, multiple sources within the Redskins said there is no Williams trade on the table “to their knowledge.” Rumors spread on social media Tuesday suggesting that the offensive lineman was close to being traded to the Cleveland Browns.
There is a caveat, however: team president Bruce Allen makes the deals, and it’s possible that he’s up to something that other employees may not know about.
Heard from a few people at the Redskins, they said no to Trent Williams rumors… “to their knowledge.”

Just know: Bruce Allen makes the deals. And he’s surprised some there before. Why I added “to their knowledge”. But only can go by what I’m told/hear. if something happens would be a surprise to many.

Williams won’t play for Washington, allegedly over disagreements with the team’s medical staff. He has no plans to come back, and last we heard, Washington has no plans to trade him, even if it would probably be best for everyone involved at this point. If he’s dealt to the Browns or anywhere else, it would mean Allen had a change of heart somewhere.
