My guess is that we're at a standstill because Snyder has stepped in.

I thought u were talking about the play on the field this year being a poo show ... i think this years team has a shot to be real good ...

Can’t argue with a thing u said about their fo ...

I miss Zeitler, Perriman, Peppers, ... now Duke

and whomever else, Not sure, Ok I'm sure I would not have made the Beckham trade,
Plus whatever opportunity provided by the first round pick,

But the Browns traded, and this is the new Browns, the rebuilt, just like we're used to, New year, New core,
this time it'll work.

They might trade him, say they won't but they might.

Fixed it for you.

Oooh. I forgot about the lawsuit. Good call.

After we get Trent Williams, we should see about getting Jadaveon Clowney, too... ya know, just because.

Exactly. This whole thing is only happening because Daniel Snyder is in charge.

LOL.

When I heard Clowney was on the block, and considering the Texans do not have a GM right now, I wondered what it would be like to add him to our DL.

Let me add that I in no way expect either Trent Williams or Clowney to a part of the Browns.

j/c:

I think Williams is overreacting and I am now against us trying to trade for him.

I get the smear campaign by a couple of folks on here against Washington, but in this case, I don't think they did anything to warrant Williams' position. I get the feeling this is more of a selfish move by Williams than a huge screw-up by the Redskins.

Why would anyone ever give the Redskins the benefit of the doubt in a dispute with a player?

One would do that when examining the case the player makes.

I'm not asking you to agree. I just think Williams is full of crap on this one.

Why do you think he is full of crap?

(If you have posted why before please forgive me and point me in the right direction towards that post.)

"Full of crap" probably wasn't a good phrase. Disingenuous is probably more apropos. I think he is overreacting about the non-malignant tumor and I also think that his contract is factoring into his decision. I also think him just wanting out of Washington is a viable factor.

I am not defending Washington when I make these comments. I think Snyder is arrogant and meddlesome. I simply am not buying the sincerity of Williams' demands. But again, I'm not saying I am right and not trying to get you to agree w/me. I'm simply voicing my own particular opinion on the topic.

Disingenuous is a fair assessment, given this one medical incident. I tend to wonder if this is just a straw on the camel's back, especially given the other, well, "indiscretions", by the Redskin's medical staff...

Former safety Su'a Cravens has been outspoken about his experience, he had a shoulder injury that he felt was being "pacified" by the staff... to the point of contemplating retirement. A couple of his tweets add fuel to the fire...


Then Colt McCoy, admittedly being rushed back to the field when they thought he had experienced a "setback". Three surgeries later, he's still not playing.

I guess I can't fault any player for saying to themselves "this is my body, this is my life". It is beginning to appear, that in Washington, there is a large sign above the door to the medical facility that reads SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP.

The grass is always greener and we as fans would welcome him with open arms. Giving Gordon his walking papers was a huge step towards ending dysfunction, or at least the notion that we will put up with it. Sending Duke on his way when he said he didn't want to be here was another. I'm not sure I want a player who had just quit on his previous team, but I think there is enough bad blood on both sides, in Washington, that I wouldn't put a black mark next to his name moving forward.

I agree with this as well.

How do We get him what is the trade? Who do we give up to get him?

They are not smart.

One thing I'll say about Haskins after watching him at OSU. When he's hot he's a great QB. But he seems to have lapses where he just seems off. If he can gain consistency he will make an NFL QB. If not it could be a disaster.

NBC Sports' JP Finlay reports the Redskins declined the Patriots' 2020 first-round pick offer for Trent Williams.

That's surprising. That indicates to me they're asking more for him than what he's worth.

That's insane.

You can't ask for much more than a first. What else do they want? Brady?

TRENT WILLIAMS
T, WASHINGTON REDSKINS

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport said the Patriots' first-round offer for Trent Williams did not happen.

"Unequivocally not true" was Rapoport's exact wording. The Redskins have told teams that they aren't willing to trade Williams despite his holdout, so this will continue to drag on. It's unclear if teams are still trying to work out a deal with Washington for the star tackle, but Williams has made it clear that he doesn't plan on playing for the Redskins again.

They want it to be a more valuable pick. Maybe they don't want to reward his holdout by trading him to a Super Bowl ring.

Logic tells me that Rapoport is correct.

As messed up as that org is ... i agree with u that rapp is correct hee ...

Agreed. I don't believe Belichick would offer a first for 31 year old Trent Williams. He's still a good player but that is not Belichick's M.O.

It could be done though I highly doubt it.

But in this case I think one would have to consider who is making the trade. We now know it was bogus but when thinking of Belichick on an individual basis, it certainly doesn't sound like something he would do.

I hope this is all smoke and no fire as concerns the browns. I would rather have a young, improving injury free greg r At left tackle this season. Giving up a scad of resources to improve a line that performed at a high level last year and spending a bunch more money as well makes no sense to me. As long as we find a solid rt guard our o line will be fine!

I'm not sure which trade you are referring to.

Also I'm not sure there's really a 'like type' situation you could apply anyway. There are differences in player ability, position, age, health and contractual status, philosophies of coaches, and so forth.

Ian Rapoport is the one that said the reports of the Patriots offering a first for Williams were "unequivocally not true" - how else does he factor in here?
