We can continue to act like Bruce Allen or we can take the best offer and move on.

The way I see it, and even though I'd love this situation to be solved as quickly as possible, the Skins have the leverage : TW is not in a position to sit out another year, and if he plays he'll want to put the best tape possible out there. Plus if he really was ready to sit out, the Skins have the threat of franchise tagging him in 2021... is he gonna sit that season out too ?

Trent is going to be 32 at the beginning of this season, 34 at the beginning of the 2022 season, which is how far this team could drag this thing if they wanted to.

He'll play next year. Either for a team ready to give us solid compensation, or for us.

Ill be shocked with a 1st Round pick for Trent...I just don't see it happening. But Id run to get both a 2nd and 3rd round picks. Id be very happy with that compensation.

I'd take 2 3rd rounders. I want this situation handled. It's dragged on long enough. That's not a great hall but not too shabby either. Like mentioned above they can be packaged to move up if we want to. But you can get some solid players in the 3rd round.

To me it's not just about fair compensation it's about resolving an issue that's been a weight around the neck of the team for over a year now.

I think given the interest level so far we'll be able to wrangle a 2nd out of somebody. His high contract demands are a factor for sure but this is a franchise level LT we're talking about, I think the demand will be there to drive the bidding to round 2 territory.

I don't play cards but I would play against a good percentage of the people on this page. Give it some time.

Haha I actually quite like it, but Uno truely has a natural "taunt your opponent" element that I love.

Seems you guys are heading for confinement too, so I highly recommend this one:

If he's getting all his advice from his agent, he should seriously consider moving on from him. It's like he continues to think he's playing from a position of power. Perhaps you could have made a case for that a year ago, but certainly not now. I don't care what he gets for a future contract elsewhere, but I do care about what the Redskins get back in a trade. I'm positive that is what the Redskins are thinking as well. He either finds a trade that makes sense for the team, or get ready for OTAs.

Zero chance Trent gives up another year of $$ by sitting

I guess Im out of the info loop because was under the impression the only thing being reported was Trent agent saying hes excited to play for a new team with a change of scenery.

I did not know it was being reported that he would report and play this year if he isnt traded.

Any links?

So you create a line in the sand for offers from other teams.

As an example, i would say that if you cant get a 2nd before the draft, you hold out until after the draft. I think his value fluctuates based on unforeseen league-wide variables we cant yet predict.

2 3rd rounders is a joke. That's offensive line depth, and we need to get a starter out of Trent's trade value. I'm sorry, that's the truth. That dude is going to play 5 more years about 75% of the time healthy at an elite level.

What do you think of the idea of trading Trent to the Browns for their 23 year old TE Njoku (and maybe a pick)?
