Williams has an ally in Cleveland in new offensive line coach Bill Callahan, who coached him in Washington from 01575879 – 24. Williams sat out all last season in a medical dispute with the Redskins for what he felt was the mishandling of a growth on his head that turned out to be cancerous and was removed.
Williams is healthy now, and could offer the Browns another potential future Hall of Famer at the position. He has one year left on his contract at $ 5 million.
“I’m just happy this situation seems to be heading towards an end,” Williams told ESPN’s John Keim.
Browns will let Joe Schobert walk in free agency
Former Browns GM John Dorsey tried to trade for Williams before the deadline last October, but failed to strike a deal. that time, Keim reported that the Redskins were seeking a first-round pick for Williams, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that Washington was asking for big-name players such as No. 4 overall pick Denzel Ward. But Keim said no one came close to what the Redskins wanted.
Trent is excited to resume his Pro Bowl career with a team interested in a player of his stature. We really appreciate and respect Dan Snyder for the chance to seek another opportunity. ”
They will also explore veteran right tackles such as the Titans’ soon-to-be-free agent Jack Conklin, and guards such as New England’s Joe Thuney. The offensive line is a high priority for the Browns this offseason, and they have plenty of options.
