Agent: Ample opportunities to trade him last season while Allen was in charge.

Agent: Trent didn't hear from Ron Rivera even after 45 days.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 26, 2020
Agent: When speaking to Ron, Trent realized there was no relationship. Rivera wanted him to prove himself.

Agent: It's best that the Redskins release Trent at this point.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 26, 2020
Agent: A $16M offer would not be a holdup for Trent.

Agent: Look at Cam Newton. He was just released.

Agent: We've given the team offers for both picks and for players.

The agent refused to answer Grant and Danny's question about whether he ever got a 2nd round pick as compensation. The agent is currently dodging that question.

Reading between the lines here, it seems as though this agent has been unable to get a 2nd round pick for Trent, but he hasn't explicitly said that.

Agent: Trent has never made demands on his contract. There is no relationship here. He hasn't seen or talked to anybody with the Redskins except his conversation with Rivera in this entire time.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 26, 2020
Agent: The reason why a trade hasn't happen isn't Trent's contract demands. That's totally false. It's strictly the team's demands.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 26, 2020
Agent refused to answer the question about Trent's trade value.
— TheHogSty (@TheHogSty) March 26, 2020
Alright, folks, that's it. Interview over.
