Part of him would like to see it solved one way or antother (trade, unlikely, him playing a final year in DC, possible)... and part of me wants to see think freakin diva sit out another year, lose money, and either have to retire or accept a shitty contract that a team would be stupid enough to give a 33 years old tackle that hasn't played for 2 years...

I'm not offering him shit, come back and play the last year of your contract and leave next year, or sit out again.

I’m really starting to agree with this idea. If Trent had asked for a reasonable salary, he would’ve been traded in a deal beneficial to both the team and him. Instead he got greedy and asked for an astronomical salary. This scared off almost all or all the teams. Most of the teams interested in him simply drafted two or MORE OT instead of trading for Williams. Their math is similar to them all and the reason Trent will get a low draft pick or NOTHING.

You draft several draft pick OT in the 2nd, 3rd and lower rounds. First, they are cheap $500,000 to $1 mill. Some will be busts (over half) but one or two will make it. Meanwhile, Trent would cost $20 mill per year , and most likely would get hurt AGAIN. Most teams would take the more risky course with drafting cheap OT, versus trading for an Uber-expensive Trent, who hasn’t played in a year, and also
has been hurt.

Bottom line, Trent priced himself out of the market. If he can’t be traded then he either takes his salary or he sits another year. If he’d been less greedy he would have more money, a new team and the Redskins would have good draft pick. Let him sit if he won’t play!!!

Waking up to hear we had a deal but Trent backed out?

It’s obvious now, he is trying to force a release.

RR isn't going to release him. If TW doesn't take the next trade offer, doesn't accept a new deal here (most unlikely) and then holds out, I wouldn't be surprised if RR takes the same line as Allen in the end and say "you want to f* with my situation, I'll f* with yours" then transition tag him (assuming there's no better benefit to applying it to another player at that time; if so cut him and have done). He could be looking at being 34 having held out for effectively 3 years by then and likely have to retire having missed out on c. $30M. And quite possibly miss out on any HoF chance.

Surely he has to see that the best case scenario is taking the next offer from whoever that is and moving on? Worst case is he destroys his legacy.

Fuck him. Let him sit out the year and see how many teams will offer guaranteed money to an injury-prone tackle who hasn't played in 2 years.

I think for many he has already done that.

This whole thing is a joke. We wont get any trade partners, so fuck it....let him sit and not get paid. The skins still hold 100% of the leverage here. I'm beginning to think he is ok with riding this thing out and possibly retiring when it's all said and done.

Basically what happened is all the teams that needed a tackle said no thanks. They all decided to take rookies and not deal with Trent, his bullshit and contract demands. I had a feeling this would happen. The only way he gets moved is if someone has a tackle go down during camp.
