Conclusion

In doing research for this article I uncovered, via the NFL Network, the Trent Williams clip from the 2018 Top 100 NFL Players. In this clip, players raved about Williams’ toughness and athleticism. And over the course of his career, there are claims that Williams is one of the greatest athletes of this decade given his size and weight.

Now, when we see a revolving door at left tackle next season, then will we realize we were being greedy? Undervaluing a star? It seems like it.

Give Rivera a key chess piece for the OL! We have a potential Hall of Famer in Williams. If we hoist a Lombardi this decade, Williams will be Canton bound, by the looks of it. That is, if he is still our left when we win.

Then, and only then, will his salary will be justified. But it is the right risk to take.
