Daily Dawg Tags: Cleveland Browns not likely to land Trent Williams
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including one writer who says Trent Williams isn’t coming to Cleveland
Apparently not everyone is all-in on the Cleveland Browns trading for Trent Williams. On the surface, it feels like a move that would be easy to make.
The Browns need a left tackle and Williams is a Pro Bowler at the position. And while he’s a seasoned veteran, he still has at least four more seasons of good football in him — judging based on how long other left tackles have been able to remain effective.
However, the cost to do business is steep. Not only are the Washington Redskins rumored to be asking for a lot in a trade, but Williams apparently also wants an extension worth roughly $20 million per season.

4 Reasons why Trent Williams is not likely headed to Browns — Daryl Ruiter, 92.3 The Fan
"“First, Dorsey is no longer in charge of the Browns and if he wasn’t willing to meet Washington’s asking price then, the odds that new EVP of football operations and GM Andrew Berry will are slim to none.Second, Williams reportedly is seeking a mega deal in the $18-20 million per year range, a price the Browns aren’t likely to meet, not with much younger and cheaper options available in the upcoming draft.”"
"“Browns center JC Tretter is among four nominees for NFL Players Association President, who will be elected on Tuesday, a league source confirmed for Cleveland.com.”"
J.C. Tretter is highly respected by his teammates and apparently that admiration goes beyond Berea. He will be running against Russell Okung of the Panthers, Sam Acho of the Bucs, and Michael Thomas of the Giants — making him the lone AFC nomination.

"“I think quarterbacks get too much credit when they win and too much credit when they lose,” Saturday said. “I think a lot of that went to Baker Mayfield.”"
Jeff Saturday, who worked with one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history says the Browns put too much on Baker last season and that he still believes he’s the guy to turn this team around. There seems to be some truth there and Saturday knows a good quarterback as well as anyone.
