It's pretty pathetic that Bruce Allen would rather try to win in a fight against Trent Williams than try to trade him for the most he can get so we can put this franchise on a better path. It's literally a prime example of why we will never attract premium NFL talent to lead this franchise.

Edit: Here's to you Bruce.

Bruce has already won because Trent is never going to play another down as a Redskin, maybe not even in the NFL. Bruce is the kind of guy who has probably told Trent that they are never trading him no matter what, so his only option is to come back and play here. Trent i would think would lose a lot of cred for Bruce making him his bitch.

There was talk on twitter from some of the guys i follow of Trent possibly retiring due to the whole thing, how does that work, would we owe him anything additionally beyond what we already paid him?

The biggest question is what is Bruce’s end game? Keeping him to prove a point is simply and play 5 meaningless games is silly. And have him play out his 1 year left?


The only real reason Bruce would want to keep him is for an extension...that’s the only thing I would imagine we would be turning down offers

While the FO and Bruce are not trustworthy, part of me does not want the team to settle for a low offer for Trent.

As Andrew Brandt famously says, "deadlines spur action" if you are holding out for the best offer this season, it would have to be on the trade deadline by October 29th.

After the deadline, the biggest turning point will be whether Trent shows up on Week 10 to accrue this season in his contract. If he doesn't show up, his trade value will go up, since he will still be on contract for two seasons. While I assume any team that's willing to trade with him, will need to re-negotiate a contract with him, I believe his current contract becomes a baseline for any negotiations.

Finally, the team doesn't have a 2nd round pick in 2020, so Trent could become part of any offseason trade to acquire more picks (and hopefully not to trade those picks for Mike Tomlin).

One thing that I do not know is what happens to Trent's $11 mil salary for this season. If he doesn't show up at all, will that be cap carry over for next season? If so, that'd be a plus.

Trade him before the trade deadline of Oct 29. All those who want TW to "be punished" for not honoring his contract are punishing the future Redskin's HC and Dwayne Haskins. Trent IS NOT going to play here either this year or next. Get over it and trade him for a 1st rounder who will replace TW in the OL. But I know Dan Snyder - he's petty and incompetent. He'd rather punish TW then thinking of the future. No one in the NFL respects Dan Snyder as an owner or personnel manager. He's considered the worst owner in the NFL. This buffoonery just reinforces those perceptions of him and of Bruce Allen .

Isn't it like THE worst option possible ?

There's absolutely no chance that any offer would be higher during the offseason for a player having 1 year left on his contract in a situation where teams will have many options, versus now for a player having 2 years left in a situation where LT needy teams have very few options...

Beyond stupid.

So if OJ Howard is available, that’s really the only player I would move him for.

Yeah he's been a disappointment though

Yeah but I don't think it's 100% on him. Arians don't have great history with TEs in general, he doesn't utilize them as receiver that much..

Dorsey of the Browns has confirmed that he talked w/ Allen about Trent and was turned down. What the hell is going on over there? It's totally personal at this point. The Browns are 2-4 and that could be a top 10 pick. I just don't get this organization and their fucking pettiness. If these losers had any brains and put their egos aside, they'd say give me your 1st and Calloway. That way you have another potential young stud wr and two top 10 picks in the first round. I don't understand them at all.

This is how little Danny boy wins off the field.

I think waiting till the off season will cause his value to drop. Teams will look at the draft first other than trading for a player getting up in the years who has battled injuries and has a huge cap number. The max value for Trent would be trading him now to a contender having issues at left tackle. Bruce Allen is an idiot.
