Also, Trent is losing a lot of money but the Redskins don't get to use the money allocated to him on the Salary Cap. Is it worth taking a 23M cap loss for a player that isn't going to participate?

Ultimately I don't think they will move him before week 1.
Our new head coach next year with smooth things over and he will be back.

You lose $23M of useful cap space, but you save $23M in cash. That's not a football consideration but it's a big business consideration.

I think Trent caves by week 1. It's too much money to leave on the table.

If Trent sits out, wouldn't the salary cap be released and pushed forward to next year?

I don't know the details of it, but I remember Andrew Brandt saying how last year, in terms of finances, L. Bell did not hurt the Steelers at all and all that money they didn't pay him went back to the team.
