I think he is traded though, even if its 2 3Rs, so we wont get to a week 1 watch.

I don't know ... Here is a train of thought that may/may not be realistic.

RR and TW had a couple of good talks. But TW let RR know there was a part that was money related. After these talks, RR said something like "TW you were and can be again an important part of Redskins heritage, but I get it, you want security. We will let you and your agent go out and see what you can do, we won't hold you back, but we do expect fair compensation (mid 2nd or better) based on what you could be for us. Remember, the door is open if you change your mind.'

By being open, straightforward, and clear on what the Redskins thoughts are (and I think RR was) then it gives TW confidence the culture is changing - and gives him time to evaluate what his next step is, including coming back to the Redskins for another year.

Sounds good to me -- hope you're right.

He’s not coming back. If he was he would have after his first talk with RR. If that wasn’t enough to sway him, then he’s most worried about the money and that’s not going to change. I was so hopefully we were going to get a 1st. Now it looks like we will be lucky to get a 2nd. That sucks.

I think it depends on what money he is offered, and/or if the draft compensation isn't right. I was specifically adressing whether TW would hold out if not traded, and that I think RR had a way that he could approach TW so if he is NOT traded, he still won't hold out again. Not to mention the 14Million he would be giving up.
