I’ll echo a concern that Sheehan did a couple weeks ago...Ron hasn’t spoke to TW. Has Ron spoke to Dunny, or will he now? Kinda hard to get a sense of team without talking to your better players, Trent and Dunbar. It’s early tho...SB was a week ago.
It is. I'm pretty sure this is all on Ron's radar, but I'm sure he has a lot to do before getting to talk to players. Hell, free agency doesn't start for month.

And yet you don't have a problem with teams cutting players who are still under contract with the team?

I'm with you - I hope Redskins will work it out with Dunbar. I wouldn't feel comfortable if we go into the season with Moreau and whoever else on our current roster as our #1 and #2 CB. Even if we let Dunbar go and sign a FA CB. This will hurt us.

Give his agent permission to seek a trade with another team. If there is value there we should trade him, if not, he plays for us or sits.

Agreed. I don't blame Dunbar for seeking out a new contract. That being said he signed an extension a couple years back so it's not like he's making the league minimum. I leave it in RR's hands.

Most likely scenario - Dunbar has 2 INTs in SB LV (not for us).

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

I wouldn't rush to judgement concerning the man's character. Just because he blew up about his contract doesn't mean he's bad for the culture. Let him calm down and then see what happens.

Also, as a practical matter, if RR were to make an example out of someone and summarily fire him I sincerely doubt that it would be his best cornerback. Maybe someone who is on the taxi squad.

As for what Gibbs said about trading players who didn't want to be there. What would Gibbs have said if Russ Grimm had raised his hand? I'll tell you. He would have said "Put your hand down Grimm. You're not going anywhere". That is probably what RR will tell Dunbar.

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

Would be a tough loss, he is our CB1 and has been one of the best man guys over the last 2 years

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

Gibbs nearly traded Riggo and Williams so I wouldn’t say he was above moving anyone who wanted out.

I’d have concerns with paying Dunbar given his injury history. I’m guessing he’s getting the same vibe from the team.

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

He has leverage because he knows we need him, so we'll see what happens. I'd love Okudah but man I really want Chase

He’s above average but not great, Kyle Smith will find someone in the draft. Dunbar is always hurt, if he doesn’t want to be here, get rid of him.

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

I'm going to stop having favorite players. McLaurin is going to be my last favorite player.

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

Trade Dunbar and sign Bradberry. And draft a minimum of 1 CB and most likely 2.

Bradberry isn't as good as QD and he's certainly not a #1 Corner so we would still need to replace Dunny

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

Yeah i dont think you can commit a Norman size deal for a guy who shows talent but can’t keep on the field. I would not be opposed to a modest per year deal, but committing 10+ million per year is a tough sell.

Re: Dunbar demanding trade or release

If RR sits with Dunbar and they figure out a way for him to stay that makes them both happy I'm fine with it...
But hell for now it sure makes Dunbar looks stupid: because they don't know each other and he wants a new contract... he wants to be traded to a new team that he doesn't know either, before knowing for sure if the new regime here is ready to extend him or not...
