So he was so pissed off that he waited 4 months to say or do anything? If memory serves me right, this whole thing happened last year and his surgery was in February, correct?

That's my whole issue with this JUST being about the medical issue. If things were so bad, it would have been news 4 months ago. Not timing it like a contract hold out.

I mean, who am I to say but it's possible surgery like that to repair w.ever it exactly was could require a long waiting period to even check on how the healing has progressed etc etc... Who knows but the timing of course seems coincidental, can't argue that.

As it turned out Trents health issue was not cancer (thankfully)! And it seems it’s behind him. He still seems upset with the way the team handled it.. my question is if the team told him it’s not serious and can wait..did that not turn out to be the case?okay so if the team told him it’s very serious and needs to be taken care of (why would he be upset with that).. if indeed he believes the team mishandled this how did they do that.. I would understand his claim IF he indeed had a serious issue that he was told it was not serious.. I understand the scare of thinking you might have cancer .. I just don’t understand what he thinks the team doctors did.. maybe there is a lot more to this than any of us know.. but I’m starting to believe it’s all about the money..

That is the case most of the time but our Redskins are going to F... this up.

It is strange how the majority here take the teams side on player vs. team issues. I get that we just want the team to win. So whatever it takes....right?
Players were demonized last season because they disagreed with the way our defensive coordinator ran the defense. Some grew so frustrated they spoke out publicly because nothing was done to improve this issue on the field. So all of the players that spoke out were cut Even though many of us agree our D coordinator is not very good and should be replaced with better.
TheMalcolmConnection says above, if our best player felt mistreated by teams medical staff, why didn’t he go to owner and the entire medical staff get cut? Well that would mean the team would be admitting fault. Not many billion dollar companies and their lawyers would ever do that. Especially this one.
I get the owner has to back his FO and coaching staff over the players. But sometimes in rare circumstances, the FO and coaching staff are the problem.
I especially do not like the blurred line where where Bruce Allen has seemed to cross from FO to almost ownership side. He seems untouchable. I do not like that.

Well there was a big voice of dissent in Jonathan Allen who disagreed with Swearinger's antics and his criticism of Manusky. Also, I think I've heard one or two players basically saying that Swearinger was a problem.

Just heard on the radio that Donald Penn is coming in for a visit.

Anybody have a link?

It would definitely make sense anyway... But this could be a leverage move in the TW situation, couldn't it ?

Bringing in Penn makes me think Trent could really have his heels dug in for the long term. Not good.

That was my thought too. If they sign him for $1.0M then it will tell me they're just trying to bolster the depth. If they pay $3M or something then I'll be a little concerned about Trent, it will tell me they think they have a roster hole they need to fill.
