Then explain. What happens if Trent wants more guaranteed money upfront, same with Scherff. How is the team gain more cap space? I’m no cap expert and was assuming since you have to pay 2 players a lot money and have barely any cap space.
You've been around this site long enough to hear me explain cap rules ad nauseum over the years. You should have a basic understanding by now.
If you prefer to keep it simple, just take my word for it on all things salary cap.

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
Sorry for the small font, was from my phone This proves my point. He's average just like I said. I see a uber career in this bum's future.

You just can't go into the season with Moses, Flowers, and Geron Christian as your tackle situation. The offense becomes a catastrophe. Moreover I don't even consider letting Haskins play behind that tackle setup. If Trent is traded then Haskins has to sit.
We're over a barrel. You can either stare him down and make him play 2019 on the low contract, or you can pay him. I don't think trading him is a practical solution.
Had we known about his position going into free agency or the draft we might have been able to do something, but with it cropping up now, we need him more than any other NFL team needs him.

Can't agree anymore, pay the man his due.

we are paying him his due. right now. under his existing contract.
If we could count on Trent to play something even close to 16 games, it would be a different story. But giving new, big money, to aging, injury-prone players when they are already under contract would be incredibly moronic.

Not sure the argument should be whether or not to pay him. It should be WHEN to pay him.
There is no need to pay him now. He will not hold out in the regular season. If he does, he is not playing elsewhere. Why? Because he has 2 years left on his current deal.
No reason to pay him now with 2 years on his current contract. You pay him as he is entering the final year of the contract.
