MikeT14 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 He's a genius. Quote NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reports the Redskins plan to trade holdout LT Trent Williams this offseason. Washington knew Williams was not going to play for them, but they shut down trade talks for months before finally listening to calls right before today's trade deadline. There were discussions of Washington receiving a second-round pick for Williams, but they believe they'll get more assets this offseason. Of course, the Redskins could've just dealt him before the 2019 season began if they believed the offseason is the best time for trades, but bad teams stay bad. NBC Sports' JP Finlay reported earlier than Williams has "no intention" of playing this season despite reporting to team facilities this afternoon.

MKnight82 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 So Craig Hoffman was on the local radio this morning. He said he heard no one offered a first for Trent. They shopped Josh Norman but didn’t get a single offer. They had phone calls for Adrian Peterson but for whatever reason refused to trade him. He heard we probably would have only gotten a 7th but still. We also got calls on Kerrigan but refused any offers on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns weren’t going to give up their first after they realized how high it was going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well also everyone was sick of how obnoxious the Redskins have been throughout this whole process and weren’t going to do a big deal like that with 24 hours notice.

MKnight82 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 If anyone has seen the Seinfeld episode where Elaine receives a wedding invite to a destination wedding a less than a week before the wedding. They called it an UNvitation, joking that the bride really had no interest in them showing up but sent the invite late because they felt obligated too, but figured there was no way they could show up with that late of notice. That is what Bruce just did. He had no intention of trading Trent, but he felt pressure from the media (and probably the NFLPA) to make it look like he was trying.

I'm all about the swaps anyway. I like it. Take their 2nd. Swap their 3rd for our 4th. Their 4th for our 5th. You gain, what?, 20 picks on those? I would have been fine with that.

MKnight82 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 I’m actually glad that no deals were made because I don’t want Bruce’s fingerprints on anything going forward. Fire him in the offseason and let the next GM do what he wants with Trent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceinthehouse Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 If Bruce Allen isn't fired after this debacle, I don't know what will. Bruce better PRAY he lands a 2nd Rd pick at worst, or the fans, media, fellow GM's, etc. Are gonna have a field day with him. That's assuming he ever actually trades Trent. It's going to be very difficult for me, to get excited next season till Bruce Allen is gone. I'm pretty fed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to hope Dan is feeling the way he felt about it Vinny in 2009 but I won’t believe Brice is gone until I see it. I just won’t, I’ll never actually predict Brice will be fired.

It's sad, but I think I would rather have Snyderatto over Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
