Ruhskins 03-18-2020, 02:33 PM I like an idea that was being floated in yesterday's Redskins Talk Podcast (the second one). With all the money the team has left, given that they missed on Hooper, Jones, and Cooper, they may just give some money to Trent so he stays.

Lemonade out of lemons. I’d be ok with that especially since we lost our LG.

Hard pass. Would rather take two thirds, move him, and then use the money to proactively extend guys who can be part of our future (and who arent assholes), like:
- Brandon Scherff
- Jonathan Allen
- DaRon Payne
- Quinton Dunbar

That’s not as unlikely as it sounds. No one is offering a second rounder and no one wants to pay Trent $20 mill/yr. That may get both sides to loosen up and move toward the middle. When Trent sees he can’t get $20 mill anywhere, he may settle for less in order to get the guaranteed money he was concerned about last year.
If this scenario happens, I don’t think this will happen until much closer to the draft. There is no OT left in FA who is in Trent’s class and it is unlikely the team can draft someone at Trent’s level, unless Kyle Smith’s hits a grand-slam home run with a MacLaurin-like, low draft pick.
Near the draft, the pressure on both sides will increase greatly. Trent has to worry that the teams that need him may draft from the very deep OT pool, including the Redskins.
The Redskins have many needs and might want to spend their top draft picks toward other positions - like TE! If they mend fences with Trent then they can afford to use their lower draft picks on OL project players. Signing Trent gives them a couple of years to find a replacement.
So, I think you have a good idea, since we have a great deal of cap money which hasn’t been spent.....

I agree, but with the LACK of FA spending so far, they can definitely take care of Dunbar. I’m sure that Scherff’s franchise tag has as much to do with seeing if he can return to his Pro Bowl form, versus last year’s below average showing.
I seriously doubt that they will offer early contracts to Allen or Payne until Rivera can see how they do playing next to Chase Young. So far, for his first round draft status, Payne has not really lit it up. Allen and Ionnidas have played the best on the DL. Unfortunately, it is tough to judge Payne, Allen or Sweat because the coaching and schemes of the Redskin’s defense was so POOR for the last several years.
Rivera and Del Rio will know much more about Allen & Payne’s true playing ability after they are properly coached and after playing with Chase Young. I suspect that the entire DL will be on fire this season. Mostly because they will be coached at an elite level versus the bottom-feeding shitte show of Greg Manusky. Oh yeah, plus they will be there while the Offensive Coordinator’s are watching to see if Chase young is the Edge-rushing phenomenon everyone thinks he is.

I don't think Ron keeps him, I think in the end we take the Jets offer for the two 3rd rounders
