I highly highly doubt Williams nixed a trade to the Vikings. They made the second round of the playoffs last year and could certainly find a way to compensate him. Although, he’s on his same deal anyhow so I’m not sure I’m buying that excuse either.
In my opinion, the jackasses in DC made it all up to try and drive the price up between two other teams who probably knew what Minny was offering. They succeeded by getting a 3rd next year. I don’t think there was any chance Rick was giving up a 3 next year given the situation.
In my opinion he’d have been great, but the contract would have been an issue from here on out. LT hasn’t been our biggest problem either. I love the Cleveland pick and I think he has the capability to be a great long term starter.
