Dangle the first pick?

Trent Williams and Cordy Glenn can't even be in the same sentence, unless that sentence is... "Trent Williams and Cordy Glenn's situations in 2019 are nothing alike."

Trent Williams was told by his team's medical staff to ignore a growing lump on his head for YEARS and it turned out to be cancer. Cancer in his head. That is a 100% legitimate beef to no longer want to play for an organization when their incompetence makes your life be threatened.

"Already on the decline" for a guy who was in the Pro Bowl last year (and every other year since 2012) sounds an awful lot like the type of line that the Bengals used when they lowballed Whitworth and he went to the Rams.

Trent Williams asked the Redskins for a new contract with more guaranteed money.  So he said he'd never play for them again while trying to get more money at the same time.  

Williams has also balked at a joint investigation into the incident between the NFL and the NFLPA and has asked the NFLPA not to look into his medical records.  There are also reports that the Redskins medical staff told him years ago that he should have the growth tested and he put it off.  At the end of the day, we'll have to wait and see what the NFL's investigation finds, but he's not being paid while he's sitting on the NFI list and racked up over $1.2 million in fines, lost 50% of his signing bonus proration, and is losing $638k per game in game checks.  If a misdiagnosis cost me millions of dollars, I would personally want the union to investigate and help me get my money back.

Williams hasn't played a full season since '13 and had a 72 PFF grade last year.  It's well known that players tend to make the Pro Bowl as they start declining due to name recognition.  He will also be a year removed from football next year.
