That included not paying Trent the 10Million.

Paying Scherff, TW, Flowers and a starting LT won't be cheap, BUT our DLine right now is super cheap (26th) so if we go higher on OL and have both trenches firmly established, that seems like a good thing.

One thing I would do is bring Moses/Christian in a RT for an open competition. Moses doesn't deserve to be handed a job after his performance last year. But I would not cut and sign someone with TW coming back.

Hmmm, i stand corrected. Sheehan or Finlay reported that in a podcast a little bit ago. I remember being shocked by it given the fact that our line wasn't that good. Maybe it was assuming if Trent was on the roster and we tagged Scherff?

Well the spotrac number should include TW since he is under contract, but Penn and Scherff probably weren't. Once the line is finalized it may be top 5 or so, but assuming our QB, WR and Dline rookie contracts stay in place we can afford a bit splurge for OL and DBs

How do you consider him winning? Last I checked he took an unpaid year off and didn't get a new deal. It wasn't like BA got canned because of TW.

Allen and Hess are gone, Trent's #1 and #2 enemies in the building.

Hess being gone after 17 years and close with Snyder especially reflects the TW effect

I am pretty sure all the injuries the Redskins have had recently compared to league average have nothing to do with the head trainer getting canned. Go ahead post a link that you are basing Hess's demise on TW.

You know I don’t think we need to splurge outside of keeping known assets like TW, Schreff and possibly Flowers and/or Roullier.

It will be interesting to see what the new coaching staff thinks about the Oline and how they will fit into scheme especially in the run game. TW is a no brainer of course...top 5 tackle who is an athletic freak fits in every scheme.

We will not fill the LT position with anyone better. He solves a problem. Based on that alone I'll take him back. On top of that he is an all time Skins legend. Do I agree with how he handled things? Nope. Were Bruce and the training staff clearly issues with more than Trent? Yep. Bring back Trent and draft Chase. Those 2 moves alone and the team is drastically improved. C'mon home Silverback.

You really don’t see the connection? It’s pretty obvious

So you take one portion of past behavior that occurred during a period of extreme circumstance and ignore the past behavior of being a team leader and good soldier for the Skins FO.

How do you pick which past behavior you want to keep, because I believe with a new front office and coach he is more likely to behave with respect to Dan Snyder who flew him in his private jet and to his new HC who is giving him a chance to get back in the game he loves then the circumstance driven event of a life threatening camcer scare.

But we of course can not know until one side makes a gesture of goodwill.
