Looking back, that's a funny move by Trent Williams. The Chiefs have won 2 rings without Trent and they might have won even more than that if he was their LT from 2021 to now. And Trent is stuck with zero rings on an underachieving team with a loaded roster featuring Void Year contracts out the wazoo. Eat shit, Mr. Williams.

Orlando's gone on record claiming they were close and that he was ready to sign but they wouldn't budge on the guaranteed money. Which I believe. Front office had a tremendous draft that year and they were probably convinced they could outsmart the system and find a rookie LT in the later rounds like the Patriots. Ego.
