HTTR That's a fair enough view. There's a problem with it however because the Skins aren't going to trade a Pro Bowl LT with 2- yrs left on a large contract that he absolutely has not outplayed. Have to be on the field to outplay your deal. TW trade value dropped when he went public and posted the follow up surgery pic on instagram. Skins will have to wait for a contender to get very needy to move him with value. That happens so it's going to be awhile likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Skins Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Hottest of hot takes: Trent wants to sit out for part or all of this season in order to fully heal and ensure his career will extend into his late 30s. He told the front office, coaching staff, and Donald Penn his plan and they are all on the same page. Donald gets a one year deal to show other teams he can still play at a starting LT level, and we get a healthy Trent next year or for a playoff push later this season once our QB situation has resolved itself. We then turn Trent's missing paychecks into a signing bonus on his next deal when we extend him after the season, making him a Redskin for life and letting him re-enter the lineup fully healed just as our new QB gets the offense up and running at a consistently high, playoff ready level. Bruce and I smile smugly, crack a few Coors light and laugh at the lowly media peons. We knew the REAL situation all along.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 @Reaper Skins Nice take, only issue is I thought Penn announced this is his final year or is that just part of Bruce's master plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how that drops his trade value at all. I don't doubt the rumors that teams are being told Trent isn't available for Trade. Bruce can be a stubborn sob, and I'm sure in his mind - he thinks stalling him out and fining him will force him to report. Could be right about that too, but it just further muddies the water.

SemperFi Skins Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Bills OT LaAdrian Waddle out for the season with torn quad.... more potential trade partners (if we go that route).... TW's value is going up IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFi Skins Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Also, it sounds like the Patriots may be in the market for a OT and they'd be willing to part ways with one of their top DB's. (though our DB's are fairly stacked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinzplay Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Waddle plays RT not LT, and he wasn't even going to be 2nd string on that roster. I don't think the Bills will be too pressed or desperate. And I don't want any former Patriots linemen. Those guys get away with things up in Foxboro that they aren't allowed to do when they switch uniforms. Everything you see doesn't necessarily translate.

Skinsinparadise Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 They have second-year offense lineman Isaiah Wynn, who they have penciled in at left tackle for 2019. But he spent his rookie season in 2018 on injured reserve after tearing his Achilles in preseason last year. He has been limited for all of the team’s training camp practices. On the other side of the line, the Patriots have Marcus Cannon, an injury-prone but talented tackle. Beyond those two, the team has rookie tackle Yodny Cajuste, who is dealing with a shoulder injury. And that’s about it. A reliable veteran would immediately make a positive impact on New England’s roster. But Williams would come with a significant cost in a trade, whether in draft compensation or proven veteran talent. Perhaps the Patriots would wait until late in the preseason when they have a sense of which position (like cornerback or linebacker) has so much depth that they could package a player (which they would have otherwise cut) and pick to dull the blow in a trade for Williams. Before Brady’s contract extension, the trade wasn’t a possibility. Now, it’s in play. https://patriotswire.usatoday.com/2019/08/05/tom-bradys-contract-extension-trent-williams/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His trade value doesn't increase posting cryptic scene going into further surgery from a tumor. If he was insisting on a trade then all he's done is make it harder to get fair market value. Why that's not logical to you isn't worth argument. If he wants more money then post scenes like that. Conversations where TW tells BA that he's never playing for him and the current medical staff ever again, with a tail end that he'll hold out and retire before he ever does that doesn't help getting traded by escalating tensions in the media. Whatever the instance and ultimate outcome nothing TW has done has helped him to facilitate a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think any would be suitors are making their decisions based on his Instagram video. He doesn’t need to do or say anything to have suitors. Be rest assured, folks are making calls on Trent. Not that I think the team getting back max value for him in trade is on his agenda anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Blaster Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 What doesn't add up is that if the medical staff is so bad, and Donald Penn talked to Trent before signing with the Redskins, wouldn't Trent have advised against it based off the incompetent medical staff? What player would tell another to sign with a team where the medical staff doesn't protect you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If I'm Trent and I know the Pats are sniffing around me, I would do whatever I could to make it happen. Imagine spending 10 years in a dumpster-fire of an organization and then hearing the Pats are interested in making a trade for you. Hell, I'd take a dump on Bruce Allen's desk. Come to think of it, I'd do that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
