Or he’s waiting until Penn sucks or gets injured. Then his leverage goes sky high

Because of three reasons:
1. Leaving money on the table he cannot get back
2. Piling up fines for no-show (can be forgiven, depending on organization)
3. To your point, he cannot stay away for 8 weeks. He can, however, stay away as long as he does not miss 6 games. At that point he forfeits an accrued season. At that point, he might as well stay home and watch Sundays like the rest of us.

TW must either be holding out for a trade or a new contract. That’s all I can figure out. My guess is that BA told him to play his contract.

If Penn gets hurt or the left OL collapses then this gives TW huge leverage.

If the team starts winning without TW or as the six game limit approaches then the Redskins gain some ground.

Somehow I think that BA will blow this . Worst case: no trade, no TW this year.

Then there will be a game of chicken....the Redskins will do nothing and Trent will see how long he can go without a paycheck

show up or stay your ass home.

Trent who? Screw him. IMO he's a quitter.

Chief X_Phackter · 09-10-2019, 10:06 AM

I thought he wasn't going to be ready for the regular season due to recovery from the head growths anyway. Maybe he can't comfortably wear a helmet yet...

Maybe he should call AB

I agree. But let’s trade his azz for a first round pick that can help our future. Unfortunately, BA is such a lousy GM that he is probably incapable of wrangling such a decent deal for TW.

I guess we should find a lousy GM to give us a first for Trent. I doubt it though. Not unless someone is panicked.

It would be a miracle if they could get a 3rd round pick for TW. He's old and injury prone.

Line held up in pass pro pretty damn well on Sunday, against likely a damn good defense. Outside of Moses. I don't understand holding in the NFL anymore.

I think we have enough talent to beat the Cowboys if we play well. But I have absolutely zero faith in Gruden or Manusky to win big games. Last week just further validated this.
