ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams ended his holdout moments before the trade deadline.
The Redskins had held firm to their trade demands for Williams, and sources said his value on the market wasn't what many had expected. They wanted at least a first-round pick or a playmaker, and no offers came close to that. They did inquire about the availability of Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward, but that was quickly rejected.
That left Williams with a choice: either report or continue his holdout and possibly not get credit for a season played.
