The Consigliere Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It isn't just the draft capital or whatever else we get.. We get Cap room, and they lose cap room when they add him. We get whatever they give us, plus a boatload of cap space, ergo, we aren't getting "a boatload of picks," unless we're trading with someone even stupider than Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder, and as far as I'm aware, nobody's hired Vinny Cerrato, and unfortunately Gettleman probably isn't trading for him.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 You don’t trade Primo talent for peanuts. I don’t believe we take a sub par deal for Trent. If we do, well, that blows and someone should be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulsen checked around with people he knows around the league and said he heard a 2nd and a 4th. If the Texans got a 2nd and a 5th and a player for Duane Brown who was older than Trent is now and arguably not as good as Trent - I don't see how in this case its just a third.

Trent is breaking down from a health standpoint, Duane played 16 games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but unless you absolutely are desperate for help at a position, do you do it for somebody who you know you'll need a backup for? If you had somebody you felt could fill in if Trent went down, why trade for Trent? Having watched ever game hes played, it pains be to pick at him as a player, but not only was he missing games, but had off games as well, you are talking about trading for who he was, not who he is and going to be, which is likely out the league in two years. 8 minutes ago, carex said: and he played in 10 the year before that, though I don't know how many were the result of holding out out or learning a new system He held out the first 7 weeks of the season.

For me it depends on Trent's health. If Trent for sure is right health wise and I am running the FO for a contending team, I might do it. I don't think a late first or early 2nd round pick is asking too much. Granted we don't know where the picks will be in advance but we can make educated guesses. Judging by what I read today -- teams that might consider it: Pats, Texans, Browns, Jets. I think Trent is still good. But like you, i have questions about his durability. But if you are a team like the Texans who are desperate for a competent LT let alone a pro bowl LT -- you might take a chance on it. Paulsen flat out asked NFL people he knows (not Redskins people) about Trent's trade value and they told him more or less a 2nd and 4th. I guess if they trade him, will see.

Tell the Texans that they will trade Trent to them without any compensation back... As long as Alex Smith is included in the trade. Would never happen.

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. Yeah, it sucks that we get all this speculation through the media and he said/she said crap. The fact no one is saying what's going on does seem like Trent has sunk to Redskins FO behavior. That doesn't make him wrong, just adds to the frustration that is this franchise. Jumping to vilify the player doesn't make sense either. I agree with that. At the end of the day, it seems I need the Shanahan conditioning program Haynesworth needed apparently. I can barely maintain the energy to bother sometimes. Can't some grown ups take over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ****ed forever about leaks and the team working things through the media. Now both the player and the team are working behind the scenes - now that's bad too? Both Trent and the team are doing this right. No one is running to the media ****ing about the other. The media keep throwing out speculation in an attempt to bring one or the other out so they can sell more clicks, ad time, etc. Good for both the team and Trent for not playing along. Our desire to know does not translate to a responsibility on their part to tell us. Neither side owes us anything, especially right now. This has one of three outcomes: He doesn't play (holds out/retires) He plays. He gets traded. One of those will happen before the fist regular season game. Until then all we can do is guess and focus on who is in camp. Sounds Like Geron is doing OK at least and Donald Penn is doing well. If Flowers or/and Martin work out at LG, it could still be a pretty decent season. Honestly, I am more interested in how the Brandon Scherff contract is going on. If Bruce ****s that up, he should be banned from ever entering an NFL stadium- forever! Just my thoughts. They need to do what good organizations do - sign their top players. Dude is a beast. Keep him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All a bunch of...a friend said this and a person with knowledge said this. All speculation and some contradicting other pieces. This IS the leaking bull****. And there is nearly 100 pages worth of speculating on all these rumors. We got days of this long before the skins said GMSM was gone. We got lots of speculation for cravens. After so many events. Days before camp they said they expected him to show. There is little chance in my mind that isn't a lie. They can be forward without telling all the details. Were they afraid we were going to find out Trent was holding out a day early? The drama is constant and even if leaks/speculation is different it's still how things operate. 8 minutes ago, ConnSKINS26 said: I know a post is good when @skins4 gives the little "confused" reaction to it.

They are intention leaks. This is how they are negotiating. Speculation is based off what they want us to hear. It is different. I'll give you that. However, to me post the rumors/speculation, but it's silly to make a determination with any of it. It started as a response to people jumping to vilify one side or the other. And per the leaks- they are better, I will say this- in general they are doing things smarter for things like draft picks. I still don't think BA/DS have a good grasp of how to run a team. Maybe that blinds me a bit, they generally come off as devious and/or useless. I think there are better ways to deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not everything they do is ****., And albeit agonizingly slow, they are getting a little better. My biggest point has been no reason to make any determination as we just do not know. I see above you are in the same place. I just don't think when you compare this to other situations around the league this is actually going better/more professional than most.

The GM they hire will likely want his own guy anyway, unless BOB leads the team to the playoffs this year. Massive need at LT.
