Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams still hasn’t joined the team’s training camp and it looks like he doesn’t have the intention of doing so anytime soon. According to the latest report from JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington, Williams doesn’t want to play with the Redskins anymore.
In his story about Williams’ situation, Finley cited a source close to the player who said that the 31-year-old Pro Bowler is “not coming back” to the team. The source also added that Williams is ready to miss the entire season if Washington decides not to trade him.
Unlike similar holdouts, Trent Williams’ absence from the team isn’t reportedly caused by the money issues. According to Bleacher Report, although Williams is unhappy with his contract situation in general, the bigger reason for the holdout is the fact that he doesn’t trust the Redskins’ coaches and the medical staff anymore.
The problem arose when Williams found out that he had a benign tumor on his scalp that the Redskins failed to diagnose. He ended up requiring surgery to remove the growth and has been vocal since for the team to make staff changes.
Williams entered the league in 2010 as the fourth overall pick by Washington Redskins. Over the years, he established himself as one of the best players on his position having earned seven Pro Bowl selection in the past seven years.
