Trent Williams never got to sleep Thursday night as he waited to hear from his agent. The No. 4 overall pick in the draft had already missed one day of Washington Redskins training camp and wanted to be a holdout no longer.

At 4:30 a.m. ET Friday, the call came. Williams would get a six-year, $60 million contract that includes $36.75 million in guaranteed money. The team's new starting left tackle needed to be at Redskins Park by 6 a.m. to sign the deal and suit up for the 8:30 a.m. practice.

By the time the 2½-hour workout was done, Williams was running purely on adrenaline.

"I'm going to try to get me a nice little nap here in a couple of minutes," he said.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
