NFLPA Says it Will Consider Legal Action if Redskins Continue to Leak Trent Williams Medical Records
By Chris Pyo
It seems that the Trent Williams saga is far from being resolved.
Just days after he revealed a cancer diagnosis had been the subject of a dispute between him and the Washington Redskins, Williams wants the NFL Players Association to halt their investigation into the Redskins' mishandling of the entire ordeal.
Per @DeSmithNFLPA on @JunksRadio - Trent Williams has asked the NFLPA not to pursue an investigation.

He’s upset that the team leaked out information. Also categorizes it as disinformation. Says if it doesn’t stop, they will pursue action.
However, the NFLPA said it will consider legal action if the Redskins don't stop leaking information regarding Williams and his medical information, even though such measures should've already been taken.
After all, the organization failed to diagnose his Williams' growth as cancerous and instead deemed it "minor." That's some serious irresponsibility that they should be held accountable for.

However, it can be inferred that Williams just wants all of this to be over, and he's threatening to sue the very association that's supposed to protect him and his rights.

This situation is only going to get stickier. It doesn't help that the Redskins are one of the NFL's worst teams, standing at a pathetic 1-8. That alone shouldn't surprise you when it comes to how dysfunctional this organization is.
