It's over?

Isn't just a rehashing of the first reports from several weeks ago?
Honestly, I still have hope that there's nothing here that money can't fix...
Plus, one thought I have is wouldn't trading TW be a very good way to lose an entire locker room in a blink ?
You often hear how players side with their teammates when they're trying to get paid, how they think "if they act like that with him, how will it be with me?"...
Well what will the locker room feel like if the FO can't find common ground with one of their best players, team leader, veteran and anchor of the offense, multiple times Pro Bowler thought to be one of the very best at his position ?
If there's any way Trent can be back, I think this team has to make a legit push to make it happen, or it could end up being even more painful than "simply" losing an elite LT...

Why is Bruce Allen’s name on every bad story attached to this team? The piece of human shit just needs to go. It’s well past that time.

I need to hear it from a better source than JLC that he's done with the team.
If he is done with the team time to sell.
It's pretty embarrassing that this could be how it ends with probably the best player on this team for the last decade.

Yup. Another botched situation in a loooooooong line of them by this front office. Don’t worry. Bruce Allen knows the “truth”. He’s got it all under control. We’re in good hands with “Bruce and the Bozos”

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWell part of it is the same people who write the negative stories also hate Snyder and Allen so its pretty simple to write a cookie cutter article saying how bad the FO office is.

So, as of now, TW has said nothing. The only thing he has done, is not show up. Granted the are stories that may or may not come from his camp.
If TW wanted to move on, I see no advantage in staying completely silent. TW himself may not be one to do that, but it would be to his advantage for his agent to come right out and say it. Despite JLC story, there has been no formal trade request. If he only wanted out to DC that would already have happened.
It sounds like he's upset bc the medical staff said he could wait until after the season to address the scalp issue and then he got a real scare. Who knows if anyone is in the wrong here, but either way he got shook. So now he wants some more insurance (in the form of monetary compensation likely). He's a team guy, so rather than start a big controversy and likely get moved from the team, he's just staying quiet in the media, he let his camp leak an inkling of what got him upset, and otherwise is letting his absence talk.
Redskins aren't budging it seems. Which could prove problematic. If they let him stay upset, it could cause conflict between the most respected player in the locker room and the FO. Hopefully they make some gesture that makes him feel heard, because it sounds like that is part of this.
Most likely he'll play come week 1. The question that has me most concerned is will he come back happy or disenfranchised?

What happened to the big dude hates training camp and feels like he doesn't need it angle? Maybe he is just using this as an excuse to enjoy his air conditioned house and swimming pool a while longer. It may have been 40 years since I played football in High School and College but I will venture a guess the guys in the 300 pound range hate summer practice. Unless something has changed everybody did the same conditioning drills, including sprints, running laps, and the ropes, etc. Of course the big guys were given more time, but they still had to do them.

Michael Thomas , Zeke , TW, Melvin Gordon.. All absent. It happens everywhere, the only reason it's a big story is because it's the Redskins.

So what if all of the 0-line felt they don't need camp? Or all the guys that were 300 plus skipped camp? What he's doing imo is total BS. If you have an issue w/ the medical staff then you take it up w/ management. Get your ass out there w/ your teammates.
