2. Trent Williams

This one is pretty obvious. The Redskins absolutely have to get rid of Trent Williams during the 2020 offseason.

In fact, the team should have moved him in the lead up to the 2019 season. Or at least by the 2019 trade deadline. But instead, the team elected to keep him around either hoping that he would return to the squad or hoping that they would get a last-minute godfather offer to take the talented tackle off their hands.

Just as a reminder, Williams has vowed never to play for the Redskins again in wake of a medical issue that popped up for him this offseason. It turned out that a growth he had on his head was cancerous and the Redskins allegedly misdiagnosed it. It was a life-or-death situation, so it’s understandable why he wouldn’t want to return to the organization.

The Redskins need to stop kidding themselves and do everything they can to trade Williams. When healthy, he can still be one of the best tackles in the league. He just won’t play in Washington anymore. But that doesn’t mean that the team can’t get a resource out of him.

Once they’re able to make moves, the Redskins should absolutely look to trade Trent Williams. The problem is that they may get less value than they would have gotten for him in-season as teams won’t be as desperate to win immediately and teams may be less willing to part with good draft picks, especially in a class with a lot of offensive tackle talent. But nonetheless, he needs to be traded.

We’ll see what the ‘Skins end up doing in the offseason, but it would be a major surprise if they don’t look to move Williams as one of their biggest 2020 offseason moves. And the only reason he wasn’t the top player on this list was because he at least hasn’t been bad on the field, unlike our top cut candidate.
