YourWish is MyCommanders Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If I were the organization, I would kindly remind Trent that he has two years remaining on his contract, unless they counted last year. From there I would advise him that he is much more valuable to the team at this point than most first round picks. Unless we get what we want for him, he is going nowhere. He may want more money, but if he does then he’s gonna have to take around 14-15 mil. If he doesn’t like those apples then he could always retire.

kingdaddy Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 To me, the older guys who demand more money are pretty much saying I'm near the end of the line and want my last pay day. It's a sign that maybe they are admitting they are near the end.....How bout Trent comes in and says "Hey, I want to finish out this year (contract) and head to free agency where i can really get paid by a contender"? That would be his way of saying I'm gonna prove to everyone what I have left and you'll either let me walk or have to franchise me. I'm with the organization on this one if he's gonna make demands after sitting out a full season....be prepared to sit again buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to be reasonable with us. I have a bad feeling. But I just heard today that Rivera has been talking with him, so we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owa Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Trade him to a cold weather team like the Browns or maybe Buffalo since Buffalo seems to grab all the players we let go anyway. Show them how it will be playing this game. No more players demanding a new deal while they're under contract. While I understand their position, I think it is a bad idea to cave in to this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Would love a late 1st round pick for him somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPosse Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Sign him to a 3 year front loaded deal. At this point there's a detriment to having too many young players up for contracts in the next 2-4. Gotta keep some talent to absolve salary now instead having to pick and choose who to keep down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbit Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Couldnt we just threaten to let him sit this year....tag and transition the next 2? if the dude wants to make some money he needs to get on the field. wouldn't condone this....would like to see a trade, but if we were going to play BA hardball with him. 8 minutes ago, PartyPosse said: Sign him to a 3 year front loaded deal.

skinsfan5681 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Trade him to the Vikings for Diggs straight up. If he doesn't want to be here...so be it. It sucks cuz i love me some Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a three year deal, dude ain't gonna have a lot of leverage trying to renegotiate when he's 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract no longer exists for the better players when they can just stop playing and demand a new contract or trade after the front load payday. Teams are better off making each year a straight average so they don't over pay prior to the player demanding something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Per John Keim's post Skins should seek their own deal and trade him away to the highest bidder. We'll see what RR is made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would’ve been ok with just a couple extra million added on, not a FULL new contract. He thinks he deserves a brand new contract after sitting out this season? No. **** him.

wit33 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It’s on the team, Trent is an elite talent at his position on the final year of his deal. The team must make a decision to extend him or not. Is he a part of the next window or not, he has a right to demand and know. This is earned by being elite.

88Comrade2000 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 He's an aging player who can't stay healthy a whole season. He just missed a whole year. Time to move on. Trade him and use the pick to draft his replacement. Hopefully, we can get a couple of 2nd rounders for him. Con some team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMadisonSkins Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I’ve got to think needing two OTs that Cleveland could give us their 2nd and still got OT at 10. I would try for a 2 this and 2 next year. Or a 2+3 this year. We need the capital to get someone at LT in either R2 or 3. I fear your last okay rookie LT prospect is gone by mid 2d though.

KDawg Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I’d need a 2+3, 2+4 or a 1 for him. But, I’ll say the same thing I have for Dunbar... new regime. Fresh slate. If you’re “out” day one, you’re out. Try to move him. I really wish our front office would have been smart enough to move him when they had a chance.

JamesMadisonSkins Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Some possible trade options: Cleveland: 2(41) + 3(90) LAC: 2(37) + 4(109) —- If they bring in veteran win now QB v. Rookie Cincinnati: 2(33) OR 3(65) + 4(104) —- put Trent at LT and let Jonah Williams start at RT until ready Tampa: 2(45) + 4(113) —- jay connection + protect Rivers / vet QB I wonder if we could get #23 from Pats if they retain Brady and work to bolster the offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Trent and the Redskins are on exactly the same page. Trents saying either extend me or deal me, and the Redskins are thinking we will either extend him or deal him. It would be a disaster for the team to play out the last year of a contract on a guy valuable enough to get a 1st rounder or mutliple 2nd/3rd round picks. You either decide you want him long term and extend, or you trade him. Not sure why some peoples feathers are ruffled by TW wanting the exact same thing.

RWJ Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 No ones going to know it but I have to think that RR and Kyle Smith have spoken with other teams in Indy about trades for TW and Dunbar once FA begins if we can't come to an agreement with either.

LD0506 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I'm a big fan of Trent's play, the guy has given a stellar career to the Skins, but at this point I feel like this transcends any of that and comes down to the attitude that Rivera wants this team to have. I was pleasantly surprised at the job Penn did last year, there are always options so if Ron can work out an advantageous deal, we bid Trent adieu and move on. I just want it to be done in an adult, drama-free manner. Throw a going away bash at FedEx, gift him a new truck or something, say nice things and shake his hand.

I dont think the Redskins are saying that without due cause. if Trent said that he wanted to be here, I'm pretty sure RR would be welcoming hm home (although maybe extending him a a couple of years to take care of him.) There are rumors that TW didn't play last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 You also have to find a team that is willing to give him a 55mil 3 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
