Getting Trent and giving him a record breaking AAV with a hard out after 2-3 years makes tons of sense for us.

Say it takes 2-3 years, Williams will still be at the typical retiring age for most good LTs when rebuilding is over. Most of these guys retire by age 35.

Besides, he would have no interest playing for a rebuilding team at this point in his career. He would want to be on a playoff caliber team that has a shot at a SB before his days are done. A team like that would still be willing to pay him a huge contract.

The want for Williams is more about protecting our new QB than it is about how much hes going to help us win. If we want Lawrence to progress and become the QB that alot of people think he can, the dudes gotta survive behind the offensive line. Yes we do have alot of holes that need filled on this team, but protecting your possible biggest investment and hopefully a great QB for us needs to be priority 1.
