Seven-time pro-bowler Trent Williams (OT) refuses to play for Redskins (1 Viewer)

[superchuck500]

He's set to earn $11 million in 2019. He's apparently angry about team physicians instructing him to play the remainder of last season before seeking treatment on a growth on his head that turned out to be a tumor.

I have a solution for the Redskins. Trade Trent to the Saints for Peat. Everyone should be happy with that deal. And we would be set for years on the O-line. Ram, Armstead and Williams at O Tackle= wow!

Edit: For you former players and coaches or those who know such things, just let me pretend we get Trent Williams for Peat. We would have 3 All-Pro tackles. Is there a way Sean Payton could get all 3 in on certain plays or would one be resting on the bench at all times? Thx in advance

Unless there’s something we’re missing I totally agree with his decision.

Dan Snyder is a joke of a team owner and I don’t doubt their staff under him is poor as well.

No $ amount is worth having your health or even life risked by incompetent professionals

Unfortunately, the "get em on the field asap" has been around since the league first formed. This thread reminded me of former
Raiders O-lineman Curt Marsh. He eventually had to have his foot amputated due to mistreatment by the raiders training staff.

HIGH COST OF GLORY

It was still there. It had to be. He could feel it. Curt Marsh lay on his hospital bed with his eyes closed. He could feel the toes of his right foot pressing

misdiagnosis by medical professionals is not limited to the NFL. Always get a second opinion.

Can't blame him. We've seen what having (mod edit) *bad team doctors can do to a team.

I just noticed that on a couple of my posts, they're given likes by both @faceman and @tinman . I'm happy to know I'm in good company when it comes to the man.

Who takes Peat's spot at guard?

Hey Nightshade! Really good point. The likely suspects are Newhouse, Tom, Clapp and Easton. Are they up to Peat's level? I tend to think close, but I am admittedly a disappointed fan of Peat's which may color my judgment.

Newhouse is a tackle and the other 3 at this point would be downgrades

Full blown Peat thread in 3.. 2..

I applaud him for standing up to a team that would rather have him suit up for a silly game than to protect his well-being.

More players need to stand up to these medical staffs/management. This stuff isn't right and they can't hide it these days.

Our medical staff has been atrocious until the change was finally made.

Just because the salary numbers appear to align does not correlate to player talent. Williams is top 5 at his position. Peat is young and has some flexibility from G to T but he isnt top 20 at any position.

Easton can fill the void if we move on from Peat.

Didn't Breaux have a similar misdiagnosis by medical staff here a few years back? By similar I mean completely wrong diagnosis, with his leg I believe.
