Should Chicago Bears trade for Trent Williams?on March 5, 2020 at 11:04 pm

Now, Leno for Williams isn’t going to happen, so what’s the additional compensation you ask? It was reported that Washington turned down a round-one draft pick for Williams back in August from the New England Patriots.

With that being said, Washington currently does not have a draft pick in the 2nd-round of this years’ draft because they previously dealt it to the Indianapolis Colts. My thoughts? Send Leno Jr., the 2020 2nd-round pick that Chicago received from the Las Vegas Raiders and their 2021 2nd-round pick to Washington for Williams and a 2021 4th-round pick.

This trade gives Washington an average Left Tackle and draft pick compensation, which will only help bolster their rebuild. Subsequently, this trade also helps Chicago push all their chips into the middle of the table, and gives whoever is taking snaps under center for the Bears the best chance to succeed.

Some may ask why would Washington accept this deal if they didn’t accept a trade for the Patriots 1st-round pick? Well, with the news of Washington allowing Williams to seek a trade it shows their hand. Their backs against the wall, and they very well may have to take pennies on the dollar in terms of return for their franchise Left Tackle. Time to make the call, Ryan Pace.
