"Washington's decision to trade premier left tackle Trent Williams was among the most inexplicable choices made by a disastrous bygone era. The organization got almost nothing in return for one of the league's best blindside protectors. And his latest prestigious accolade provoked Jay Gruden to confirm what fans have known forever. That this trade was, and always will be, a complete disgrace."
"Unsurprisingly, this earned Williams another Pro Bowl selection. It's his 12th - a new NFL record - of an illustrious career that will one day end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Washington got what turned out to be center Keith Ismael and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste in return for an elite performer, making it one of the most lopsided trades in league history."
Dan Snyder's overbearing incompetence pushed the Washington Commanders into a period of severe mismanagement that produced wildly poor transactions. The trade of elite left tackle Trent Williams exemplified that dysfunction, with Washington receiving little value in return. Williams ascended with the San Francisco 49ers, earning his 12th Pro Bowl — an NFL record — and solidifying a likely Hall of Fame trajectory. Washington acquired Keith Ismael and Benjamin St-Juste in the deal, a haul widely viewed as inadequate. The franchise mishandled Williams' health situation, accepted the first viable offer, and later saw Jay Gruden acknowledge the trade as a major error.
