I don't see it, and Donald Penn says he has talked to Trent in recent days

If we trade TW to the Patriots I will be sick.

We would get fucked in that deal, it would be some bs 3rd round pick back and that is it. No thanks.

If a team calls the #Redskins about Trent Williams and they pick up the phone and say "we're not interested" then have there been talks?

If you think yes, the #Redskins have had talks about trading Trent. If you believe those aren't talks (I don't), then they haven't per sources

This makes much sense.

Geez.. I guess at this point, I should just ignore all Williams noise until Williams himself say something.

A general rule of thumb: heavily discount all media until a "true" hard deadline is missed. For TW that would be the first game check.

If they make a trade NE is the team to trade with. They have 13 draft choices.

And the Redskins should be able to get 3 picks.

However, NE has no cap space.

Don’t worry everyone. Bruce Allen knows the truth, and has everything under control.

So let’s start guessing what the Skins will get for him.

And on another note, how many more people have to want to leave before Snyder realizes that Bruce Allen is a worthless piece of shit that needs to go.

well said! Bruce Allen is a cancer for this team. He's the most disliked GM by the player rep in the entire NFL. How hard is it to hire a real football GM who can then help decide whether to keep Gruden next year? Snyder first had Cerrato (who was a joke but stayed on for many years) and now they have Bruce Allen, who is hated by player reps and probably the players they represent. All I can assume from these two choices is that Dan Snyder wants a non-football TOADIE in that job.

Trent has lost value for the team as a trade because he said he wants to leave. We'll be lucky to get a second and third for him.

FYI

Penn said he spoke to Trent before he signed.

And Penn said he wanted to go to a team where he would start.

Reading between the lines a bit...

Penn said he talked with Trent and wanted to go someplace where he had a chance to start. Penn also said that he and Trent talked a bit about the swing role, and Penn said he'd be comfortable doing that if the team needed.

It tells me, from that conversation, that Trent's preference is definitely to get out of Washington but at the same time he knows he can't control it, and that he might be forced to come back week 1 if he's not traded, moving Penn to swing tackle.

I think it's a little window into the way Trent's thinking. The team has more leverage than it first seemed, now that Penn is in house. I think Trent acknowledges that he will play rather than give up $11M in game checks, even though he'd prefer the staff be canned or a trade.

If Bruce stares him down, he'll come back to play for us. But I don't think he'd consider resigning here and you wonder how much of an issue he becomes over the course of the next two years. There is some sense in taking a trade if the offer is good enough.

Honestly his contract has 2 years left right? By then he'll be 33-34. Most LTs dont last that long after 34.
