“Misdirection” Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 @KillBill26 thanks. I knew his contract rolled over but we wouldn’t have actually put any money out so i figured there must be some benefit or relief in that scenario. At a certain point he’d have to return to playing to collect anything because that money would be freed up year after year not my preference. Just a thought exercise I don’t remember seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinzplay Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I don't buy what Sheehan is selling here. It just doesn't add up. He's just rehashing the stuff we've already heard from DHall, Santana and others; and now adding something that has probably been sent down to him from the front office to make Williams seem as though he's overreacting to something that was normal and in no way the team's fault. Those awards - the one he mentioned - don't mean a hill of beans. Who else endorsed the medical staff? Next thing you know, Wyllie is gonna have some local beat guy telling us that the staff has the highest satisfaction rating in the league, according to J.D. Power & Associates. Come on, Sheehan. I have more faith in reporting and insights offered by Keim, who is more credible because he's measured and very judicious with his use of information given to him by sources eager to get something out there that might be agenda-driven. He knows how to filter. Far too many of these twitter-happy pseudo journalists do not.

To me this second oppinion - spurred Trent into action but was wholey irrisponsable of the doctor involved . Until you know something is serious then the best practice is to not worry the patient because all stress does is make things worse . 7 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it probably didn't happen the way you heard it. That sounds more like stuff you'd see in a movie than in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tay Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I think Sheehan got that from the Brewer piece. The team suggested that he get a second opinion, but my take based on everything I've read/heard was it was lightly suggested, so Trent put it off.

All I am saying is that it is just as likely as someone getting fired over a donut as every theory we've already heard. So to definitively say that 1 story is absurd over the other is ludicrous in ny mind. We've heard nothing from anyone.

Smoot said from what he’s hearing, it’s not as clean as what Sheehan reported and that there is and has been discontent amongst the players against the medical staff for some time now.

Perfect example is the Browns vs Skins preseason game. I saw multiple articles talking about how good the Browns looked against the Skins while missing there top two WRs. Not one article mentioned that the Skins had like 2 starters on defense. The articles were to busy making Baker look like a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Trent’s dead cap hit this year is $5M but drops to $1M next year which makes cutting him after the 2019 season tempting, if he played this season. Meaning, Trent’s leverage to extend his contract or hold out this time next year would’ve been paltry. I can see why, from a contract perspective, he chose this off season to hold out. However, he’s risking a ton of income plus the Redskins would get the $9M cap relief rollover towards the 2020 season - seems like the Redskins have the leverage contract-wise, cap-wise and cash-wise.

@DCGoldPants Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 For me it still comes back to Trent being hurt a lot, and spending so much time away from the team, but not taking ownership of his health. You'd think in Texas he was getting the full James Harrison treatment. He's an adult and veteran in the league while being paid very well. If that were me, I'd go through everything with the team docs to be compliant with the CBA, and then get a 2nd opinion on everything and anything. Especially when the team has to pay for it. Not doing that seems stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
