Totally agree about the draft pick part. I wouldn't give anything more than a 5th for him. This team will likely have some pretty high draft picks in 2020, and giving any up at this point would be insanity.
On the money part, it's not that they can't afford to pay Trent Williams, it's that it's a horrible deal. The guy is 31, hasn't completed a season in 5 years due to injuries. He already makes upper echelon money for part time participation, and has already made it clear that he wants top tier money.
From where I stand, it appears that Trent Williams is really just looking for a guaranteed cash payout, so that he can get injured again and retire with his jackpot.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
