agreed. If he wants to play in the NFL at this point it will be for a very desperate team or he can try to be a ben tate floater free agent that hopes some team like the Steelers has depth issues late in the season. Other than that I hope he saved enough money or is considering the SECN.Probably his last chance in the NFL. Hope he managed and invested his money properly. If so he should be set for the rest of his life. I think I read he got $600K guaranteed from the Raiders..
He's been in the league for enough years now that he is considered a veteran so I think the minimum he can make is $600K. I doubt another team will sign him considering they would be on the hook for $600K regardless if Trent ever played (such as what happened with the raiders).agreed.

One of the greatest athletes I've ever personally known had the same issues. He was 5'9" 185 lb and coming out of high school he was as agile & fast as anyone else on the field. He played QB in high school and finished 3rd on the all time list for total yardage in MS history. He also finished pretty highly on the all time scoring list in basketball all while leading our HS to 2 basketball state titles. He was an exceptionally special athlete. He went to Ole Miss where Orgeron put him at DB. By his senior season he'd put on 40+ lbs of muscle. He'd lost all his speed and everything that made him the athlete he was in HS.Just don't know how he can be such a bust.
Yeah, I thought he played pretty well .I saw a nice burst last night - looked like the old Trent for a fleeting moment. I would hire him. He's not done.

I remember there was an interview with a prominent person that worked in the Browns GM office that gave some info on why the Browns traded him so soon. He stated that the Browns were trying to make him use better mechanics and see the field better in order to stay healthy and be productive past his rookie year, but they said Trent was either too slow to catch on or too hard headed to change. So instead of getting stuck with another Peyton Hillis situation the Browns were looking for a team that was desperate for a running back and would pay big to get what seemed to be a good one that was on the rise.He had a great first year and then the NFL made some rule changes that affected some running backs' running styles. He wasn't the same after that. He would tear up the CFL.
That's not true at all.He had a great first year and then the NFL made some rule changes that affected some running backs' running styles. He wasn't the same after that. He would tear up the CFL.
