As for Trent Williams, I'm not convinced we'd be better off with Okung, who seems to be the guy he's most often compared to (for good reason)

I didn't know that about Rogers but completely trust your knowledge of the situation. Did he have any reason for being unhappy from day 1?

Probably someone coming in with much less talent (D Hall), playing 8 games and then receiving a 55 million dollar deal. Vinny and Danny strike again.

Not really. Some people just aren't happy in places. He got here, didn't like it here. You've never gone somewhere (whether a new job, same job new location, heck even vacation) and just said "I don't like it here" and then been miserable until you could get out?

If I were making millions to play a game, I wouldn't complain if I got shipped off to Buffalo. I'd learn to like snow.

Not putting in full effort at anything you do is unacceptable whatever the reason. You can always work your way out of a situation but getting yourself fired so you can go somewhere else isn't the way to do it.

If we had signed Carlos or LaRon again...those big years when they went elsewhere probably would not have happened. I can especially see Landry saying "I can do no wrong, they won't cut me" and proceed playing another 6-game season instead of 16 games and a Pro Bowl like with the Jets.

It's frustrating to see guys go elsewhere and suddenly learn how to catch the ball or just stay healthy, but we're better off not taking a SECOND gamble on these kinds of guys who have either attitude or work ethic problems.

sure. Just strange, so he never negotiated to stay? didnt know that, thanks. It happens in sports too I imagine.

He did, or at least his agent did. And it seemed they were close. But then Rogers came back with a counter offer that was so outrageous that I think most everyone involved realized that he had decided he was going to put the Redskins in a position where they would have no choice but to let him walk.
