That guy sucks. It would be a terrible idea.

You never take the first tentative offer (Jets two 3rd round picks).

We can do better. No trades for players. We want at least a second rounder for Trent - he’s worth it.

I understood the premise of the question being "if 2 thirds are the best offer" do you do it or keep him.

I'd say keep him, there's a chance that 2 3rd round players never start for you, but Trent next year will be a solid to elite starter at one of the most important positions. I think in that case, it's the old bird in the hand...

Yeah ..... i think im the only person who thinks he doesnt report or reports week 8, if he is not traded. Hes not reporting to TC or week 1, imo.

I think he is traded though, even if its 2 3Rs, so we wont get to a week 1 watch.

We will definitely do better than the Jets first offer. The Cardinals are sniffing now.

Trent will be traded before OUR TC. We’ll have some bright and shiny rookie OTs vying for a spot on the team and maybe a short-term contract OT FA as a bridge.

I don't know ... Here is a train of thought that may/may not be realistic.

RR and TW had a couple of good talks. But TW let RR know there was a part that was money related. After these talks, RR said something like "TW you were and can be again an important part of Redskins heritage, but I get it, you want security. We will let you and your agent go out and see what you can do, we won't hold you back, but we do expect fair compensation (mid 2nd or better) based on what you could be for us. Remember, the door is open if you change your mind.'

By being open, straightforward, and clear on what the Redskins thoughts are (and I think RR was) then it gives TW confidence the culture is changing - and gives him time to evaluate what his next step is, including coming back to the Redskins for another year.

Obviously aside from Robinson and Peters, would any of those guys be equivalent to/even just a small upgrade over Penn, and have salary in the same range or less? Why stick with the band aid for one more year when you could at least get an equivalent younger guys and possibly cheaper too?

LT - I think the surest way is to draft your own in the first maybe second round, if you want an anchor for the next 8 years or so. A large percent of the top tier LTs are 1-2 round picks.

FA it seems you can get an aging vet as a 1 year stop gap. Maybe you get lucky like the Rams when they signed a 35 year old Whitworth in FA in 2017 for 3/66M ... and hes been a stud for them, played in like 47 of 48 games. Now hes 38 and they have his replacement, a 3R pick from a few years ago.

Tough call for the Rams, to turn that offense over to a relative untested LT .. but Whit is 38 and they have cap ramifications.

The Skins are after Conklin? What a pleasant surprise!

[EdmundDorf]

That sounds like pure journalistic speculation, I thought Conklin was a RT anyway, and not a great one, apparently always needed help in pass protection .... there are two things about free agency, no FA OL is cheap, and very few are actually any good.

Dang, Id be all for Conklin. A young solid T, the only issue would be his transition for RT to LT .. im guessing he perhaps played LT when Lewan was suspended for PEDs.

Conklins do not hit FA very often.

Resign Donald Penn fpr 2020 and draft a future replacement for Trent with the 2nd we get for him in a trade.
