Fact is Trent still personally hasn't come out and said anything. Yes a lot of smoke from reliable sources, but it's not like TW walked up to a podium and lambasted the team. If somehow a deal is reached the first things out of TW's mouth would be that a lot of his words were taken out of context and he appreciates everything DS and the Redskins have done for him and his family.



That's just the way the business end is.


The point is he took a below market deal to help the team sign Dak and Zeke and said so. We don’t have guys doing that. Not even close.

To be fair, teams will always screw over players and often don't show the same loyalty. That being said, it sucks to see players like that or for example Brady always taking below QB market money to help their teams be competitive.

Do you think Brady would take below market if his wife didn't earn more than he did?

Brady is all so the only player on the Pats that has an exclusive product brand only sold at the Pats stadium.

I would have to look but I think Kerrigan and others have gotten their extensions and moved forward with the team. Like it was pointed out ALOT of these holdouts have as much to do with the expiring CBA as any other reason that may be floated out. We are not the only team having abnormal holdouts this season.

Because guys only do that if it is going to result in championships. Nobody is taking a pay cut to help a team go 8-8 instead of 6-10.

Do you think we're an 8-8 team with Trent? If everyone stays healthy (a big if, I know), I think we fare better.

Look at our owner. He doesn't take care of the players the way some owners do. Yes, he pays big but he isn't exactly known for his locker room affection. Players aren't going to miss out on millions of dollars for somebody they don't respect.

In fact I think a lot of the players only play hard for Gruden, and don't really care for the higher ups.
