turtle28 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/08/01/trent-williams-wants-out-redskins-seem-hopeful-that-fines-will-force-him-return/?utm_term=.5d90624b412f RICHMOND — As the Washington Redskins head into the second week of training camp without Trent Williams, fines are starting to pile up for the team’s star left tackle. And while Williams has expressed a desire for the team to either trade him or pay him more, in response to what people close to Williams say are his long-developing frustrations with the franchise, the Redskins — for now — seem content to bleed Williams financially in the hope of forcing him back. The collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association is loaded with weights designed to keep players from holding out of camp the way Williams is now. Teams are allowed to fine players $40,000 each day they don’t show up for training camp and the preseason, which means Williams is already facing $280,000 in fines for sitting out the first seven days of practice. That number could grow to over $1 million if he does not show the rest of the summer, and he could lose an additional $1 million-plus in guaranteed bonuses. According to a person with knowledge of the Redskins’ thinking, Williams asked the team to be traded on June 1. Washington officials decided that a trade would not be practical and turned the request down. The person said Williams then asked for more money, which the team also declined, and the two sides have remained in a standoff since. This is stupid. They should just trade Trent to Houston for a few picks, hopefully a 2nd and a 3rd in next years draft or a 2nd and a 4th or maybe for one of the Texans young ILBs and a mid-round pick, something.

mar29020 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Redskins should not trade him unless the trade haul is good enough. They can smooth it over if they really want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should just trade him, I don't think Trent is going to cave and it doesn't seem that Dan/Bruce want to give Trent the contract extension he wants either. Trade Trent to the Texans, hopefully get back a 2nd & a 3rd or a 4th, or one of their young ILBs and and a 3rd or 4th. Frankly, if this is Trent’s stance, the trade should have happened already. I don't think the fines are going to make him play for the Redskins again. Edited August 1, 2019 by turtle28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Like I guess in the end I can’t thinknof one team that traded their franchise LT and excelled. You have a young QB!!! You have a top LT in the game. Pay him. If we have two players who have earned their money on this team it’s Trent and Ryan!! Brandon is due Reed owes us a lot of production and we have a lot of youth. Let’s try to get this guy locked up!!! This medical staff has botched a lot!! I don’t think I’d play with either situation we’ve had a ton of bad injuries just linger. Let’s get Trent locked up and the staff gone!! All pro LT’s don’t just grow on trees. And this training staff hasn’t been amazing so cut the dead weight get a quality staff and get Trent in here to compete against Sweat so this guy can practice against a all pro and grow his game to a all pro level. This is effecting Sweat get Trent back now!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) If every doctor was fired over a misdiagnosis, we would have no doctors in the world. If every Left Tackle was fired over a missed block, we would have no left tackles in football. Edited August 1, 2019 by offbyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard some talk show host say on the air a while back that Trent was our most penalized OL last year, maybe some of that had to do w/ him playing hurt but still, that was alarming to me. Yep, just looked it up. Here we're the penalties charged to each OL last year: TWill - 8 Lauvao - 2 Roullier - 2 Scherff - 2 Moses - 7 Edited August 1, 2019 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly forgot DRC was at camp. Not for long I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
