Trent Williams holding out for new deal

A new deal for Scherff will lower his cap # this year significantly. He's currently on the books for $12.5, that could easily be cut that in half for this year.

This article mentions what you just said (towards the end of article). Like i said I’m no cap expert and was assuming.

Just tossing out a general question, does anyone feel good about breaking in a rookie QB with anyone other than Trent protecting his blind side?

You are correct about this being disheartening and his injuries. However you are wrong in an absolutely mind numbing way about his play. Dont let your emotions control your posts it makes you look ...well....ignorant as all hell.
I've seen this bum get abused by Giants LB Vernon every time we played them. TW is average. We need to go full rebuild mode.

Either you are trolling your own teams fan base or he banged your girlfriend.

You might think he's great but to me he's average. Am I lying about him being abused by Vernon? You on his balls so hard you won't even face reality. Maybe he banged you that is why you're on his dick so hard.

He's missed 9 games over the last 2 years.. That isn't terrible

Missing 9/32 games - 28% - is significant. Even in his current contract, of which he has 2 years remaining, he's still in the top 5 at his position. Hes getting top 5 money when he's only available 72% of the time. If he is getting paid any more than 72% of what the top LT is already making, then he's already overpaid.

Yet he's asking for even more money? No thanks. If he can make it through 2019 without getting hurt, then maybe its worth extending him a couple years. But it would be completely foolish of the team that is already paying 20MM towards a player who isn't going to play this year to commit even more money to a player who will more likely than not miss significant time this year.

Those who voted for the Redskins to give TW more money are not being realistic. They are allowing their fond memories of TW in his prime to color their judgment on what the team should do now.

If a team is foolish enough to make us an offer we can't refuse, then we should take it. Otherwise, don't negotiate with him. Make him play on his current contract this year. If he stays healthy, then great. He's earned a new contract. If not, then just let him play out his contract and let him walk in 2022

Just tossing out a general question, does anyone feel good about breaking in a rookie QB with anyone other than Trent protecting his blind side?

No. which is why its good we have him under contract for 2 more years. also, given trents missed significant time the past few years, he'll likely not be protecting our rookie QBs blindside atleast 4-5 games this year, regardless of whether we give him a new contract or not.

This is so tough for me because TW has played hurt, generally kept his mouth shut, and played like a beast for years.

On the other hand, he's another 4:20 break away from a year long suspension because of past transgressions.

Personally, I do the middle ground. Restructure to throw a few extra bucks his way for being a good soldier over the years, but no way in hell do I give him a new contract. I was really hoping TW would just ride off into the sunset as a Skin, but here we are. He DOES have us over a barrel with Christian (and GOD FORBID Flowers) looming, but hey, every game check you miss, let's see how you feel then.

Don't want to establish that precedent.

Even with a Down year he was 15th in pass blocking grades, only allowed 1 sack folks. 1 all year. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190605/d25c2ba3b4cae5b81e31e40fb6cdaf0e.jpg
