But him and his agent (the team, pre Rivera era, shares plenty of blame too) seem to be trying to make this end as shitty as possible. Once he's done playing, I still think he'll be one of my favorite players, but this ending sucks.

Petty side of me = Keep him unless we get a 1st or high 2nd, and if not, his ass can sit out another year, if he still won't play for us;
Reasonable side of me = If we can get any thing between the 2nd and 3rd, take it;
The over it side of me = Take any fucking pick we can get through the 5th round;
Every side of me = If we can't get a 5th, sorry Trent, you're sitting out or playing for us this year. Not just giving a hall of famer in your end of prime years.

I hope it ends somewhere between reasonable and over it.

Yeah, I agree. I really like Trent. The guy gave it his all when this team really sucked. He was a true hard-playing trooper and was well-liked and respected in the locker room, by the coaches and media. I’ve heard both sides of the story and tend to believe Trent more than Bruce Allen, because Allen was a disliked by everyone, not just TW. I believe Trent more than Bruce, but both of them are very tarnished by this event.

Allen never understood that you don’t have to be liked or loved as a GM, but if you’re not a total a-hole you can be respected. Allen was not liked, he did nothing good for Redskins football for a decade, he was petty and he subverted people’s careers he considered a threat. In the rarified world of the NFL, he was considered a poor manager. Since his removal, no sports media even wants to her his opinion. Fans in DC were ecstatic that he was fired. So good riddance to him.

I hope we can make this an amicable breakup between Trent and the team. We’re get a few draft picks and he will go to a new team. For one, I’m glad this I over, because this is just pure drag on this team. It’s just a bad distraction in a rebuilding year. Goodbye and good luck to Trent!
