The thing everyone has to remember is that TW has not recovered from his medical issues and is not in the condition to practice right now. That means that even if the Redskins wanted to trade him, they couldn't do it because he can't pass the physical.

Please explain.

You can’t trade a player unless he passes a physical. So it isn’t really an option right now. But Gruden of course is saying that. Unfortunately Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb have the final say. Bumbling freakin idiots those two.

I wanted the medical issues explained. Having a growth removed from someone's scalp should not impact them from staying in reasonable physical condition.

I havent seen any legitimate report about TW not passing a physical. Sounds more like a false news then true. Also even if true i imagine TW could get passed the physical in time for a trade to be processed.

The only source I have heard saying something similar is Sheehan on his podcast. I haven't seen that info in print.

The implication from Sheehan was that the tumor was much deeper than simply on Trent's scalp.

The discussion was light on detail and "deeper" wasn't really explained. Scalp, skull, then brain, it's not complicated, but there wasn't any elaboration. Just that the surgery was serious enough to keep him from training to prepare for training camp or the season.

The medical issue is just an underlying issue of why he hasn’t been practicing. But like Cred said id imagine he could probably get into shape and pass a physical in no time.
