If the contract doesn’t toll and TW refuses to play upon coming back, why didn’t we trade him earlier this year when he had more years left on his deal? Did we think he’d play upon his return? Am I missing something? This could be twice in a row (Cousins, BA) Bruce misread his players’ motivations (even though talk radio had spit them out ad nauseam). He’s paid to get these right.

BS, TW is a ****ing **** bag for reporting then faking an injury to fail the physical. He doesn't deserve credit for this year, much less any salary the remainder of the year. I hope in the next CBA they change things up to not allow players to hold teams hostage, hold out but still accrue a year of eligibility by reporting then faking injury to fail a physical, etc. Honor the ****ing contract you signed. And spare me the BS about teams being able to trade players, cut them, etc. They get paid way too much money to act like little ****es. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the interest of vindictiveness and not allowing it to 'set a precedence'. As if we have a bunch of players on our roster that are comparable to him. Only the most delusional of fans thought he wouldn't report to accrue a year of service...or that he'd be the one to mend fences, and suit up to play. After a fresh reminder of what a malcontent can do to a team (AB), the FO chose to willingly go down the same path. Trent has vowed to not play for the organization again. I don't think there's anything the team can do to MAKE him. And he knew this when everything began. The FO apparently didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is under contract and yes he looks like a 🤡. Bruce is the biggest 🤡, but right now screw both of them. We'll see. As it stands the team will be paying for a player that has yet to suit up. I'm sure that will get old quickly. 22 minutes ago, bakedtater1 said: I've never wanted to smack the **** out of my best friend more than I wanted to today....he says bruce and dan are heroes for what they did..do i smack him or his he right?

You let him pull the same BS next year then franchise tag him 3 years in a row. He can have his freedom at age 35 five years since he played football or he can retire. That’s assuming he doesn’t get popped for a failed drug test with all the free time. That’s the hardball that needs to be played. Al Davis did it with Marcus Allen and Bruce worked for Al. Screw the second round pick. I want him to suffer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay him, and devote a significant chunk of cap space, to a vendetta? So you're more interested in punishing Trent than winning? Everyone that's obsessed with how front offices could've addressed this differently years ago, forgets...there was no salary cap, and guys leaving in free agency wasn't common.

He's paid to be cover for Dan Snyder running his clownshow under cover. He's performed his job to perfection. Losingest era in team history yet still keeps on trucking on and on and on.

That’s the only place he will be seeing football for the next 4 1/2 years. Snyder is getting way too soft. He needs to get back some his jerk mojo. If you are gonna be 1-7 be yourself.

Ghedrick Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 12 hours ago, profusion said: Holding out for business reasons doesn't make him a "bad teammate." This guy gave it his all on the field for years and made the other guys look better--I've never heard of him slacking in practice, either. These guys are professionals, each in charge of their own career. I hate to say it, but today's players are not emotionally invested in which color laundry they're wearing on any given Sunday nor do they view ownership as their "friend." It's a lucrative career, not a marriage. I'm sure everybody in that locker room understands why TW is doing this, even if no one has explained it publicly. If its about money he should come out and say it. Instead he leaves his teammates to answer for him which is wrong not business.Until he comes out and speaks he looks like a egotistical moron carrying a grudge just like Bruce. If it's about the tumor he is a millionaire what kind of millionaire can't afford to have a tumor on his head his checked by professional after being told to get a second opinion.Oh now the whole helmet issue Trent is a joke I hope he never plays football again the dam coward.

No one will dare pull this again with the Redskins. Yea but not in real time. Isn't it credited to you the following season? Posturing doesn't matter, just like Bruce has motivation to prove a point, so does Trent. And Trent backing down doesn't get him a new contract in this situation. Him playing risks tens of millions of dollars, in a signing bonus he could be getting as soon as the season ends and the Redskins decide to trade him. Who would jeopardize that over goodwill? Take the fan cap off for a second...this is the guy's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdaddy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This is gonna be a great story moving forward; it's like a game of chess. Who can get the better of the other? If TW doesn't play then Bruce will do everything possible to get the accrued season discredited and again try and force him to play here. This could be better than making the playoffs....maybe that's the kind of entertainment Dan is trying to give us fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
