MariusVT Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I'd love to get a high pick for him, but really any team that sees what's going on isn't going to offer more than a 4th or 5th for him. The Redskins only option is to hope they can sit on him and their will is stronger than his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I can't believe that people aren't giving Trent the benefit of the doubt when the franchise constantly implodes relationships with its employees through incompetence, contempt or ego. Brian Lafemina, Scot McCloughan, RGIII, basically every coach except Gibbs. I'm sure someone that actually gives a **** about this team could provide a much more comprehensive list. 1 minute ago, BatteredFanSyndrome said: On this scenario, I don’t expect the FO to run personnel decisions by players. But yes, they should communicate the ‘why’ to the faces of your franchise. Particularly when it doesn’t add up. You desperately need a guard, but you select a tackle there. I venture a guess he was less hurt and more perturbed that they didn’t fix the glaring need. One that he is more familiar with than anyone. Yes, I'm not saying get his approval. I'm saying give him a heads up and an explanation, just to show respect. That's not a hard conversation if you have a shred of humility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 @goskins10 I get what you saying. Honestly, I tried to stay neutral as long as I could, if he starts holding out regular season games, I wont care what the reason is because rhe effect will be the same regardless.

This is 93 pages long and honestly, I'm not sure a single person really knows what has happened and what is continuing to happen. To decide which side messed up (or both perhaps) seems a bit crazy.

Malapropismic Depository Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Funny thing is, even if Trent reported to camp, we'd be asking ourselves the exact same questions... "Will he be ready for Game 1 ?" Because even if he was here, he'd be on PUP and unable to play for medical reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct in that none of us know whats going on. The point is that this is the usual course of business here - drama. On one side, you have a seven time pro bowler that has been a leader and played hurt a lot for the team and on the other, you have well...the Redskins FO, whose track record speaks for itself. Yet it never fails, fans find reasons to vilify the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best post I've read on this... We don't have to believe that one side is entirely correct while the other is entirely incorrect here. From what we've heard (nothing concrete) it SEEMS that the Redskins medical staff MAY HAVE misdiagnosed his tumor and MAY HAVE encouraged him not to immediately get a second opinion. Those are the 2 things that paint the team in a bad light. From what we've heard (nothing concrete) it SEEMS that Williams was frustrated by the misdiagnosis, demanded a trade or a raise, and we KNOW he's holding out. It also SEEMS that he's tried to strong-arm the dismissal of the medical staff. We can also ASSUME that some of his frustration was the third-party doctor's escalation of the severity before determining that the tumor was benign. To me, this isn't a one-sided thing.

For another we're not so financially desperate that eating his salary would ruin us. I'm pretty sure just last year a couple of disgruntled guys were traded for first rounders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 And this is probably why no trade has actually been done or even trade talks substantiated.

Nobody on this board, that I'm aware of, is getting paid millions of dollars per year to do a job that very much includes managing these relationships.

Jumbo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 i haven't followed the thread, so am unaware of the breakdown of how many think ternt is at soem kind of fault here or not i don't think there's a more pertinent factor than dan is a **** owner (from a football perspective) who has run a **** franchise and bruce is a huge pile of additional **** added to it other than that, the sky's the limit this year!!!

tmandoug1 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Is possible that maybe he just doesn't want to play anymore because his body just plain hurts everyday. Mine does and I deal with it every morning and it sucks. Can't imagine how his feels......maybe he wants guaranteed money to keep doing this and all the rest is just smoke and mirrors. What guaranteed money is he set to earn over the next two years. I see 11 million this year and 12 million next but that isn't guaranteed money is it? All a big guess until facts come out, which will shock me if they actually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be right, but do something so wrong it was like you were never right in the first place. For clarification, the team (coaches and players) didnt do this nor did the fans, it was front office and medical staff. Everyone is going to pay the price for him holding out, he knows that and doing it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't have it both ways...you can't hold a team hostage hoping to force a trade but also act as though it's completely because of the medical staff. If he's sick of losing on this second-rate team, then just say "I want to be traded to a winner because I think my career deserves a title run or two." Own it, don't embellish things to hide behind.

Stadium-Armory Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I see this as him not wanting to play for this team any more. It's probably a combination of factors, including wanting to win, and being tired of this franchise. The tell-tale sign, is the issue about the medical staff. Whether or not he really has beef with the staff, or not - it provides cover for him wanting to leave for another team. If he didn't want to play at all, he would just retire.

Unbias Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 3 hours ago, KDawg said: No. Ty had been around and he knew he wasn't a threat. There was probably noise in his ear that Christian was drafted to replace him. I think fans write off human emotion too fast in these matters. We tend to think these dudes are robots. If he felt slighted with that, and then the medical situation occurred as it did, it could lead someone to feel unappreciated. And thus... this. Or it's all bull**** and he just wants money. I don't think it matters much either way. We are where we are. I don't think it's one thing. Could be a combo of no playoff wins, Kirk's departure, Alex's injury, tackle being drafted, misdiagnosis, dealing with Allen, no playoff wins, etc.... All of that will wear on a guy.

evmiii Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He most likely has several legitimate issues with this organization (from top to bottom), but money is the only thing that will resolve the issue. I believe he will be back at left tackle when he is physically able with a little more guaranteed jingle in his pocket. He has been a great Redskin, often a bright spot in a heaping pile of poo, and I hope he retires a Redskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
