Trent Williams holding out for new deal

[Chico23231]

Fans are tired of the bullshit....look at the local ratings and the empty stadium last year. The Trent story seems par for the course

Sorry the FO doesn't get a pass based on recent history. Its a clown show.

Also, past players dissatisfaction with the team doc and the way the team handled injuries is well documented....Keim has spoken about it being a concern. Also the team has been the most injured the last several years.

This is cumulative story at this point...the Trent situation just continues it.

I never said that the FO should get a pass, I'm just tired of misinformed fans taking bullshit stories as the gospel in here.

Yeah because this team always comes out waving the redemption flag and smelling like roses. Hahaha. Where have you been for the last three decades dude?
Just stop with the fake news, nothing to see here bullshit. Where there is smoke there is always fire with this dumpster.

That's what you get when your GM/President only does national interviews(Combine, SB, Post Draft) and completely shuns the local press.
If Bruce isn't willing to deal with these issues head on, don't expect much leeway from the reporters that cover the team everyday.

There are plenty of unbiased reporters in the local media:
- John Keim
- Michael Phillips,
- JP Findlay
- Craig Hoffman
- Tarik El-Bashir

You rarely hear these guys reporting a lot of the BS stories and often they are the ones that even tend to clarify or refute some of them. They also don't shy from criticizing the team, so they can't be accused from being yes-men.

Keim, Phillips, and Bashir did an entire podcast about this exact issue lol, and did not refute any of it. They are all completely saying the same thing - Skins literally screwed with his brain, and he isn’t happy with his contract. They are hopeful he will be back but certainly not sure of it.

What are you even talking about? Bruce DID deal with this issue head on.

Three days after the initial rumor came out, he spoke with a reputable, local, reporter - JP Finlay. He told JP Trent was a valuable player, that he'd talked with Trent directly about it, understood what Trent's concerns were, and that he'd keep the conversation confidential.

I will not defend any of Allen's bungling of dozens of situations, but he's handled this situation (at least publicly) in the correct way.
