The Redskins might soon need to find a replacement for starting left tackle Trent Williams, and that's because he's apparently decided that he doesn't want to play for the team anymore.
Williams is currently skipping the team's mandatory minicamp and from the sound of it, he might not show up for any practices at all going forward due to the fact that he's unhappy with the organization. CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora reported on Wednesday that Williams is upset over the way the team handled a serious medical situation that he had this offseason.
According to La Canfora, Williams is so unhappy with the Redskins that he's vowed not to play for Washington this year. Williams has told several teammates that he's demanded to be traded or released.
Although there had been multiple reports suggesting that Williams was skipping minicamp because he wanted a new contract, the news from La Canfora paints an uglier picture of what's actually going on.

Yeah, I did some reading as well. Williams has also not played a complete season since 2013, due to injuries. I agree that he's a quality player, when healthy, but probably not the questionable big money deal that the Bengals would want to get into.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
