Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal

Bruce would just make the situation worse. Nobody likes the guy except Dan. Bruce would probably do something similar to what he did w/ Cousins and make the situation worse.

If I were the Redskins it'd be real simple. Either you play or sit home. If we get fair market value, like a 1st rounder then we'll trade you. Those are your only options.

Would you let his agent talk to other teams?

Managing 53+ players is not real simple.
Managing the salary cap is not real simple.
Winning is not real simple.

Bruce and Jay is keeping it real simple is going to lead this team to a 4 win season.

Swearinger - Team Captain and ProBowl Caliber
Mason Foster - Team Captain and leading tackler
Trent Williams - Team Captain, All-Pro, and Redskins Legend

These are 3 guys were recently voted team captain by their peers.
DJ was cut before the end of the season. Foster was cut on the way to camp. Trent has concerns about the medical staff and the team is basically saying take it or leave it.

The next set of captains will say the right things to the media but I will fucking guarantee that Scherf and Jon Allen have their eyes open to what is going on with this coaching staff and front office. Players on the team respect Trent more than they respect Bruce, Jay and Dan.

This is a bigger issue than just not having our all pro LT.

Strong Post.

Damn JAMF, now IM MORE ANGRY!!!!

I would say this team is in a transition tho when it comes to leadership...on defense Jonathan Allen is the leader it needs. The Alabama boys matter.

On Offense, there is an opportunity. How the team responds does matter...Trent voice is extremely important.

I don't buy into DJ being a team leader. He said he was a team leader but there are several statements by players and observations by respected beat reporters which run contrary to him being a true team leader.

Sundberg, on Finlay's podcast disputed DJ was voted team captain and then stripped of the title by the coaching staff. Who do you trust more, DJ or Sundberg?

Jon Allen immediately and intentionally contradicted DJ's assertion the coaches were putting the players in bad positions after the Tenn game. Whether or not the calls were bad is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Allen called BS on DJ immediately and intentionally. Allen doesn't talk crap and doesn't stir up crap. I think it's very telling about DJ's "leadership" when a 2nd year player in a different position group publicly disputes DJ.

There were many reports toward the end of last season that DJ was freelancing in the secondary and not playing within the scheme creating breakdowns in coverage and responsibilities in the run game.

He was a pro-bowl talent and the most vocal player on the team. That doesn't make him a leader.

I agree 100% with the rest of your post.
