Redskins sign Trent Williams
The Washington Redskins have signed offensive tackle Trent Williams, the fourth-overall pick in this year's draft, and he will report to the team's practice today, per Jason Reid of the Washington Post (via Pro Football Talk).
"We just got the deal done in the last couple of hours," said agent Vincent Taylor, who negotiated the deal along with Ben Dogra (per Reid). "There are just a couple of things we have to still work out, a few details to work out, but Trent plans to be there [at Redskins Park] to sign it and get going."
Before Williams reached a deal with the Redskins early this morning, the highest draft pick to sign was Oakland's Rolando McClain, who was the eighth-overall pick in the draft.
According to Reid, Williams will start at left tackle and the team will now shift their focus to working out a long-term deal for the man Williams will protect.
