Buccaneers, Redskins nearly made a Trent Williams, O.J. Howard swap

So, you know that hypothetical trade that many have pitched about swapping Trent Williams for O.J. Howard? Well, apparently, it almost happened.

Apparently, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins reportedly discussed a trade a couple of months ago that would’ve sent the disgruntled tackle to the Bucs while sending the fourth-year tight end to the Redskins.

ESPN’s Jenna Laine reported the news in a story about Rob Gronkowski joining the Buccaneers.

A source told ESPN that the Bucs were in discussions to trade Howard two months ago to the Washington Redskins in exchange for offensive tackle Trent Williams, but talks fell through.
