Skinsinparadise Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Trent IMO is clearly a better LT than Tunsil. Tunsil obviously is younger. I still think we can get a big haul for Trent -- every national reporter I've heard speak on it thought they could get at least a #1 for Trent. Schefter who I trust the most thought they can get multiple high picks including a #1. IMO saying now Trent maybe isn't worth a haul is rationalizing. And there is really no one backing that up -- at least not yet. Every reporter has said there was multiple suitors Every major national reporter have said they should get at least a first. I still think they can get a haul here. I am sticking to my main fear is Bruce decides to do a stand off with Trent versus trade him. Will he do that? I don't know. It feels to me 50-50 either way. Maybe the Texans trade and all the good PR the Dolphins get from it -- spurs Bruce to make a deal like that of his own or close enough. I hope. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also blew out his knee that year and was never the same. Let the RG3 BS go. He was a bum after 1 year. 7th round pick. Like I said, a competent front office could have easily got something for him. How anyone even makes excuses for this front office is baffling.

TheShredder Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 When evaluating the risk assessment of trading for TW the upside vs downside risk are offset. He doesn't play in enough games on avg per year and that's a serious blow to the upside. Throw in the chance he fails another drug test and it makes things difficult to negotiate that blockbuster trade with the fact you'd have to pay him top of the market for an extension into his age 34 and 35 year markers. It's tricky and essentially you're taking on too much risk for the reward. I wish I'd never become a Skins fan 30+ years ago. Constantly being kicked in the balls!

With that being said I know how football works. No one wanted RG3 and you say a 7th. Really so you would be happy with a 7th rd pick for RG3. Give me a break dude. We weren't getting anything for the guy and that's why he was released. Just like the Skins can't get anything for Doctson. When a guy is a bust he's a bust.

If this proves anything it proves that Allen will not trade Williams . I'm now sure the Texas would have given up at least a 1st and 2d for Williams in preference over two 1sts and a 2d for Tunsil - this shows Allen wasn't taking their calls at all.

Skinsinparadise Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The idea that Trent's value is diminished which i am seeing more strongly in this thread and in another one post Tunsil trade -- I couldn't disagree more. A. Trent > Tunsil. And it's not close. Yes Tunsil is younger. But it matters that Trent is better. Trent has been in a zillion pro bowls. Tunsil - zero. B. The Texans getting a haul for Tunsil should help and not hurt Trent's value C. Every major national reporter would have to be wrong about his trade value. D. Every major national reporter would have to be wrong about there being multiple suitors interested in Trent E. Look at apples to apples comparisons for trades for high level LTs, and that was before the Tunsil trade. That was one of Schefter's points. F. Worse case scenario look at the Duane Brown trade. Seattle has the reputation of never getting fleeced and they made that deal for a LT who wasn't as good and was older than Trent at the time. they traded two high round picks for Brown. If people want to argue that Tunsil can haul in more. Maybe. But I actually think its close. If I am a serious contender, I'd want Trent over Tunsil.

Few are saying his value is diminished (or diminished that much) what we're saying is we ain't getting anything for Trent because Allen won't trade him.

There are some here and on another thread who are playing down what we can haul for Trent. As to it being "few" I agree with that. Yeah I am in the group that Bruce might not want to trade him. I've made the point as hard as anyone here and even sourced it. So I am aware that there are some people who think that me included. But yes there are some who I have noticed especially today have played down what we can get for Trent. I am not saying they are wrong. There is no way to know. But I suspect based on piecing together different things people have said closer to the action -- that they are likely wrong. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Trent’s Pro Bowl campaigns in 2012, 2013, etc. have no impact on his trade value. How many Pro Bowls he can make going forward are what you trade for. I do agree that the Tunsil trade actually elevates any potential asking price for Trent.

Value diminishes when perceived value precedes availability. We would need another team in dire need of a LT willing to give up a handful to make a move. I dont see that coming from anyone else right now. List of suitors are: 1. LA Chargers: Rivers is... old. The starting LT is down for half the year or more. But the star running back is seeking a trade and top star defensive player is out for the year. I cant see them making an expensive move here. 2. Tampa Bay: This OL might be just as bad as Houston's. Run game is nonexistent. Winston is playing for his career. But its Arians first year as coach. Why would he be ok for this kind of move? 3. New England: Bill is not giving up the farm after having traded for like 4 different linemen in the past week. 4. Minnesota: maybe if we tried at the deadline last year. 5. Cleveland? 6. Tennessee: Lewan Taylor is suspended the first 4 games. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John and Brad are too real to bail for greener pastures. The Dame and McCollum of the East. Also, Im starting to think this Rui dude may just be something special. That mid-range game is legit.

How many Pro Bowls he can make going forward are what you trade for. I do agree that the Tunsil trade actually elevates any potential asking price for Trent. My point is Tunsil is a good not a great LT. The Texans didn't get a great LT in his prime, they got a good LT in his prime. If this was apples to apples and it was Tunsil being a younger Trent or even being close to a young Trent -- then Tunsil's value would be miles over Trent. But IMO that's not the case. The best analogy I can think of in Redskins terms is Tunsil would be like getting a young Brian Orkapo versus Trent being an older Von Miller. There is some value to a Von Miller -- a distinctly superior player going to a contending team. I could see the argument that Tunsil is a better commodity than Trent because of his age but i don't see it by miles. I always thought Trent's value would be more to a contender anyway versus a team with the long view. And if I were a contender and I thought my team was close, I think I'd take Trent over Tunsil in that context. And if the FO wants to trade Trent, IMO they likely could still do it. There are a number of teams that need a LT. to me the magic question remains does this FO want to trade Trent? I don't know. But IMO they should want to do it.

Burgold Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I can't shake the feeling that Trent did not go to Houston in part because Bruce does not want Trent to feel like he "won." His ego could deal with Trent going to Buffalo or Miami, but not to a contender. Bruce not only wants to win the "trade" with another team if he trades, but he wants to win the battle of egos with Williams. He wants the ability to say, "See. You got what you wanted and it landed you in Hell." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
