HigSkin Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 FWIW - reference the helmet issue last year. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27968844/redskins-lt-trent-williams-fails-physical-due-helmet-discomfort Redskins LT Trent Williams fails physical due to helmet discomfort ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams failed his physical Wednesday, casting more doubt on his immediate playing future. Williams, who ended his holdout Tuesday, did not pass his physical because there was discomfort when he put on his helmet. Williams underwent surgery to remove a growth on his head in the offseason. Redskins interim coach Bill Callahan said that Williams would have passed the physical otherwise. He said he wasn't sure if Williams needed to have a specially-designed helmet.

He probably knew, but it doesn't sound like the Skins were aware until he he showed up. It was not public I agree with you. It was certain that TW knew and who knows what Bruce knew. Not much as usual I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly different situation/circumstances to Trent, but nevertheless, do we want to go there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold on this but Cooks would be a nice weapon for DH. Anyone like this deal? The Rams are trying to shed payroll and could use Trent big time, especially vs the Niners twice a year. Cooks is Jordan Reed 2.0 in regards to his concussions last year. They may even release him if he has another. Maybe Cooks and their second round draft selection.

No Thanks.. Cooks has now failed on 3 teams that all tried to trade him after 1-2 years. If he was truly special no way teams get rid of a #1 WR that soon. There is something off about him.

I’m told ex-GM John Dorsey checked in on a weekly basis to try to pry Williams, and got a flat no on each occasion from the Redskins brass. I hate Bruce Allen. What a schmarmy, slimy, vindictive prick. **** that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell to the no. Cooks might have to retire soon due to concussions, not a great contract either and his skill set is duplicated by McLaurin. No thank you. Want players on rookie deals and w/o concussion issues (at least of that scale). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints and Patriots sold high on the guy I guess knowing they weren't going to pay him. I wouldn't call him a failure though. He's like DJax, a talented deep threat teams fall in and out of love with. He's coming off a rough season, but I don't think he was the problem for the Rams last year.

Skinsinparadise Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 @Burgundy Yoda Yeah exactly. I forgot how Dorsey expressed his disbelief about the Redskins not dealing with them but the way he expressed it -- it gave me the impression that they were willing to give up their first at the beginning of the season before they knew their first rounder would be end up as a top 10. He didn't say it that way but I recall he said something to the extent that it gave the impression that the Redskins had one heck of a missed opportunity if the deal was done earlier in that season. But for Bruce. Revenge > a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyPosse Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I’d go Trent for Tunsil straight up providing we have him signed to a contract between 17-19. In three years that deal is gonna be average for an LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overrating of Redskins players by some here is tedious at times. The 89.0 PFF pass-blocking grade Tunsil received in 2019 was better than any mark Trent has received since 2016. And he's 25 years old. Hasn't even reached his peek yet. We'd be absolute fools to turn that deal down. But it's never going to happen anyway; the Texans aren't that stupid.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Anyone else recall when we offered the Bengals essentially two 1st round picks for Chad Johnson....and they refused to consider trading him, to anyone? "At least a few teams have approached the Bengals about a trade - one even offered multiple first-day picks - but Cincinnati's approach has not wavered. The team is as adamant about not trading Johnson as the seven-year veteran is adamant about not returning to Cincinnati." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texans aren’t going to move on from Tunsil because they paid with blood in that trade. Yea, he’s not an equal to Trent. It’s why Houston came to us with that deal first, before settling. He is decent - good. he’s not elite, but wants to be paid like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 We need to find one of those borderline desperate teams who think they are close like Browns and Texans last year. Too bad Allen ****ed that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
