oraphus Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 2 hours ago, KillBill26 said: I don't understand using the argument that "Houston overpaid" (I know you wrote Miami, but i know what you mean) I agree, they absolutely overpaid. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have overpaid us, and that doesn't mean another team won't overpay us when they are desparate for a LT. It all comes down to: first, are the Redskins going to be willing to part with Trent in a move that may be weakening the short term for a long term gain. And second, if they decide they are willing to trade him, can Bruce actually get maximum value. He does not have a track record of getting value in trades. Andy Reid does. Belichick does. BA doesn't. But the fact that Houston overpaid is not a valid argument as to why the Redskins can't secure just as nice of a haul for Trent from someone else. Lack of another opportunity where everything aligns just right, that's a valid point against it. Trent's age, injury and suspension history, those are valid points as to why tunsil potentially carries more value thant Trent in a trade. But another team may very well overpay again, especially now that the tunsil trade can be a reflection of what the market dictates the going rate for a quality LT is, even if the world knows houston overpaid. If I'm trying to negotiate a home purchase, I can't dismiss the comps by just saying, "yeah well they all overpaid". Just to be clear, as someone who has been saying for weeks that the Redskins needed to trade Trent to the highest bidder, I am very disappointed the Redskins sat on their hands and let Miami collect all those draft picks. I do think we missed the boat and I don't think we are going to get an offer of that magnitude, but that has more to do with Houston being the perfect trade partner at the perfect time, and a lack of a situation as promising as that elsewhere, not the fact that a prior deal should be dismissed as overpaying. The going rate is the going rate, and a potential opportunity to sell high needs to be pounced on. I feel the same people who dismiss that trade as Houston overpaying are the same people that said "tunsil and stills would never return two firsts and a second.". Well, it happened. Definitely feels like Allen screwed the proverbial pooch once again by refusing to trade Trent. While no-one can say for sure... i highly doubt Miami did not checkin with Skins to see what Trents value is, even if just to gauge Tunsil's value. This jackass will end up loosing Williams for a 3rd comp pick to complete his circle of sh!tetude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 @KillBill26 I think you misread me. I agree with you. Saying Houston (lol) overpaid was more just saying that I think they’re insane. But I highly doubt that same offer was on the table for the Skins. Having said that, I’m curious what their offer was to the Skins... because while I’m sure it wasn’t that... I bet it was overpaying and I wish we listened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexa Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 20 hours ago, sportjunkie07 said: I disagree. The injuries are something to consider but I think they are relatively unimportant. Trents had no one of value near him since he was drafted. When you overextend yourself it wears on you. I think he'll be play late in his his career and at a high level as most elite tackles do. Trent Williams is the guy you want if your team is making a playoff push. He does things no other tackle in the NFL can do. That alone has massive value. Every single team in the NFL would be better if trent was on their roster. The bidding starts at a 1st imo, and could potentially vary upward massively. It is pretty clear to me that Bruce wasn't going to trade trent as there were clearly teams interested. I'm sure there were offers but what were they? I doubt multiple high draft picks. I seriously doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think Tunsil would get 2 firsts? He's not even very good and supposedly lazy. You know the WR wasn't worth anything considering what the Steelers got for AB.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I think football trades are weird, because a player almost always has far more value to the team he is with than to the team he is going to. Trent Williams is probably one of our four most important players. That's based on talent, position, experience, money, and so forth. To any other team in the league, he's just a cost to be worked into an overall salary cap and then someone who has to learn his job. That immediately makes him far less valuable. The same was true for Brown. To the Steelers, he was the best receiver they ever had. To the Raiders, he was this head case who had never dealt with Gruden and was probably going to murder Carr the first time he was overthrown. This is why every fanbase that receives a player believes they have overpaid and every fan base that trades a player thinks they just gave their guy away. Honestly, because of the salary cap, every NFL payer is basically seen as a liability. No one is ever worth the money they are paid according to the fans, and every player is underpaid according to the players. It's not like baseball or basketball where everyone's value is pretty evident and you are just measuring their value versus their salary. It's basically the same for every team. (In baseball, the obvious issue is low revenue clubs versus high revenue clubs but even that is changing). Eventually, this whole system is going to collapse in the NFL. It's untenable for management/the fans to think every player is overpaid and for the players to feel the exact opposite. It's the reason that no team has any "upper middle class" stars. Those guys who are not quite an all-pro but who have played for you for six years and are pretty good. You can only justify huge money on obvious stars and everyone else needs to be on a rookie contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to imagine competence when all I've ever seen is the opposite. Pure speculation. As the NFL continues to be more aggressive with trading in the off season, it’s clear a defined spectrum of value is not present in the market. Kind of operating like the wild Wild West in terms of value and compensation. With that said, it seems very clear that a players contract situation is paramount when assigning value. The Texans traded for Tunsil, who has two years left on a rookie deal that pays him 12.5 million over next two seasons (extreme value—the Dolphins front loaded his deal considerably). Trents contract as is pays him 23mil in base salary (as we know, with Keenum situation, the Skins could elect to split bonus money increasing the contract more). I think it’s agreed by most that Trent would require a new deal competitive with top paid LTs. Money and teams current cap situation plays a significant role, almost of equal value of the player themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 @Lombardi's_kid_brotherSo do you think the NFL should move towards salary arbitration like MLB has? play on a rookie deal for 3 years and then are eligible for salary arbitration for the next 2 to 3 years (and make there salary guaranteed) and then they qualify for full fledged free agent after 5 -6 years.

"Well Dan, this would have been the year...we had the QB who led the Vikings to 13-3, a great defense, and Guice back. But Trent held out and that's something we can't control. Next year is ours, my man!" Yep and we are sooooo close to the stadium. Bruce said recently that it would be about a year before they announce that. The stadium is become fascinating to me because I don't see how they pull it off with the given set up unless the WP among others are misinformed about how they are handling it. My guess is if they stick to this given course they'd need to do what the Giants-Jets did and that is build a stadium feet away from the old stadium. I don't see how the other locations come together, maybe DC if Bowser takes charge and proactively works it on her end to help. If I were Dan and I couldn't get enough of my friendship and enjoy being charmed by Bruce -- and I mean this with no sarcasm -- then make him head of business and the stadium and put someone else in charge of personnel. It would be a win win for him. It wouldn't jeopardize his friendship with Bruce, he'd still be at Redskins Park to pal around with and have drinks. Yet, he'd get a PR buzz of having a real personnel guy in charge of personnel. Part of my point here is I am starting to think anyway this is the most likely scenario if Bruce gets dislodged from personnel - which is that he wouldn't leave completely but be reassigned. For my taste that's fine. I don't want him running personnel but if he is charge of the stadium/business I am Ok with that. I've not heard anyone else say this but Russell so I take it with a grain of salt but he said months back that he was told that with Dan that Bruce has a job for life and there is a chance someday he's reassigned but no chance Dan would ever fire him. So either Bruce would quit or reassigned if Russell is right. I recall some other beat guy (forgetting whom) last off season said they were told Bruce's thinking is he wants to ride off the sunset and then he'd leave on a high. A big season-- maybe the stadium secure. And that Bruce is conscious of his reputation with fans and would prefer to leave on and I told you so note. You got me if this is true. Neither was a report but just radio-beat guys sharing gossip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how this organization gets on top of that list again. I also don't really know that it matters. If they truly are valued around 3.1 or 3.2B, it means that the value has quadrupled since Snyder bought the team. Owning a NFL franchise is like printing money.
