He's my favorite Redskin.

I felt like I was watching greatness when he wasn't injured.

I felt like I was watching an unbelievably gritty performance when he was hurt and still competent.

All that being said, a lot of specifics still need to come out before knowing what the right move is.

What if all he wants is to guarantee more money in the last year?

Or, if he really vowed never to play for us again.

The situation is clear as mud right now.

Trent will be there. His base salary this year is $11M, meaning each game check is $687,000. Plus he’s got roster bonuses due that pay him another $15,000 for each game he plays in, so essentially $700K per game.

That’s all his contract says he’ll get this season.

So even if Bruce plays a hardball game of chicken with him, Trent will be there week 1. It’s too much money to give up. He has no reason to show to training camp - why risk injury when you’ve got $700K per game coming. But he has every reason to be there week one.

And besides the team likely sees the sense in extending him some and giving him a bump in pay. Will it be enough to satisfy him? Don’t know, but he’ll be there week one.

The last guy to sit out games in a similar circumstance was Le’Veon Bell and his Jets contract didn’t end up making up the dollars lost by sitting.

We should trade Trent right now!

Trent has tremendous leverage. If he does not play the Redskins do not have any back-up and will be lucky to win 5 games. Moses to LT and Sherff to RT will not work.... Moses is a mediocre RT and would be a terrible LT and Scherff was a bust at tackle as a rookie.

A RB is much easier to replace than a LT. Bell obviously made a foolish decision.

Uh, we still need a backup plan at LT, if Moses can't do it, who can??

Is there a way to pay him more without extending him? Bonus money, perhaps? I really dislike the idea of extending the contracts of older players.

Yes that's possible. Though it would increase his cap hit in those two seasons.

Thanks. We'll see what happens. I think they'll get a new deal done. It makes sense for both sides.

[Giantone]

So you think this is about money not injuries?

I love Trent. If he doesn't wanna be here let him go.
He's aging and he's been hurt a lot.
He's a great LT and a tough one. I'd rather him be in DC
for life! I was hoping we'd draft an eventual replacement,,,

I just we cant just let him go...Its the braintrust (tongue in cheek) job to smooth it over before camp and bring him back in the fold. Trent doesn't have an option. If things only get much worse should be explore trade option

In b4 Bruce Allen tells the media,"we're working on a new deal with Tront Williams right now"
