Or it is intended to pressure Trent to make a deal. Doubt it will work, but that could be the thinking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
I definitely think that could be in play. If that's the case I actually think that's legit: you're not in a position to negotiate if the person you're negotiating with is your only option... you're right, not sure it'll work, but that'd be the right thing to do IMO.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Considering the Redskins problem with injured players extending a player who misses 1/4 of the games, is always nicked up and over 30, with two years left on his contract would not be a smart move. It would be a different story if he was 25 and rarely missed a start.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Just get Penn on the team and kick Flowers inside or cut him.
Penn is a legit Tackle, probably should have signed him anyway as depth to begin with and have took Flowers money and signed a legit left Guard as depth and who could have challenged for starter position ala a Tom Compton.

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Stop with that. Think of it in terms of stock. Buy low sell high. Right now you have disgruntled player wanting more money and an apology. If we trade him now it is the very definition of selling low. On the other side, since we have his rights for two years if he sits out we get cap relief for the games he misses, he loses money and potential money, which in the long run gives us better leverage.
Trading him now is a 2005 dan snyder move. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk |

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Reportedly Penn wanted too much money, so they signed Cory Robinson.

Haven't you noticed that this site is different? I'd say it is better than other Redskins sites because It is populated by posters who enjoy lively discussion and debate about the Redskins. Please, join the discussion but don't think that this site is a rant fest like another site we all know and dislike. |

Amen. I’d add that it makes no sense to let him go and invest elsewhere (as httr says) because leaving Flowers at LT (or any other of their current alternatives) to protect any of our QBs is destined to end up having guys join Alex Smith on a golf cart. And that gets us nowhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is professional football. A business. The Redskins signed a contract with Mason Foster. They cut him a year early, where is your outrage? Sports contracts are like any other contact. They simply hold his NFL rights, nothing more nothing less. In business, contracts are breached every day. The Redskins remedy is to withhold his pay, which they will.

Fuck Mason Foster! We should have got rid of that bum years ago. He's slow as shit and liability in against the run and the pass. |

Re: Trent Williams holding out for new deal
Whoever said "Ereck Flowers is a legit backup tackle and/or guard" deserves to be fired. If he was half decent we wouldn't even talking about Donald Penn right now.
