Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;1278415]I'm fine with the team remaining Washington Football Team. I just hope there is a marketing campaign to have the media refer to the team as "Washington" for short. It drives me nuts when people jokingly call it "The Football Team." I'm like, no mf'ers, you could have easily referred to the team as Washington.[/quote]

Don't let what other people call them drive you anywhere - I call them the Redskins and no matter what they decide on I'll continue to call them Redskins. It is my way of dealing with the situation why it bothers others (and it did) I just don't get.

F Trent. That ship has sailed. We're building a young core for the future. Don't need an overpriced, overrated and aging malcontent. He'll just whine for more money a year from now anyways.

Just texted with an NFL head coach about the upcoming cuts and what he expects…

“It’s going to be a massacre next week all around the league”

Cap announcement? .. what the hell is going on here. Teams need to be cap compliant by start of league new year on March 17 .. but whats the cap?

March 9 is the deadline to tag a player. Gotta think the FO has been working hard to get a Scherff deal done. Im starting to think he wants north of 15M per with 60% or more guaranteed. Im really not sure what they do with him. Scherff agent has to see that this is not the offseason to land big contracts.

Lots of cuts coming very soon.

I don't have a problem with the name change. I actually kinda like Washington Football Team and their new logo configuration. I know the sports media is programmed to look for a team name to use, but I just think always referring the team as Washington is easier and sounds better than using "The Football Team."

do not want him here under any circumstances. that bridge is burned.

Bridges can be rebuilt. Most of his ire was toward the old guard that is now gone (not Scherff lol). I wouldn't break the bank, which he probably wants, but I would welcome him back if he decided to come back.

Our Oline would instantly be more formidable.

[quote=MTK;1278420]I'd rather spend $$ on Trent than extend Scherff. But it's hard to see him coming back here.[/quote]

I was thinking the same thing I'd take the money for Scherff and get the LT position taken care off. I don't see it happening either. Trent had a chance to met with Ron and co before season and still wanted out. Hard to see that quick of a change.

Re: WFT's Off-Season Thread
 

Villanueva is out there, and I would give him some consideration as well.

Emotions and frustrations were too close to the surface when Ron took over, and Ron wasn't going to put all his energy into soothing those waters. Now that TW has had a chance to see the changing of the guard, and RR realizes the need at LT I think there is at least an opportunity to open a dialog.

Even Williams is a retread.
We need to draft a young franchise LT who can protect our QB, whoever that is, the next decade. This is absolutely our single greatest long term need, outside of QB itself. What is the point of finding a franchise QB and then not having a long term QB to protect his blindside?

Trent is either going to chase a ring or cash in one last time.
He will almost certainly choose a team that has QB figured out.
That is not us.
