The Washington Redskins are said to have lowered their asking price for All-Pro offensive lineman Trent Williams just before the trade deadline passed on Tuesday, but they were unable to work out a deal. If it was a first-round pick they were seeking in exchange for Williams, the Redskins appear to have botched the entire ordeal.
Williams was aggressively pursued by the Cleveland Browns in the weeks leading up to the deadline, but Washington repeatedly said he would not be traded. When the Redskins reportedly lowered the asking price to a second-round pick on Tuesday, it was too late. According to Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, the Browns were willing to give Washington a first-round pick at one point but pulled their offer.
