I don't like this news. It probally means they are nowhere close to resolving the Trent situation. If they were they would just leave the roster spot open. But not only did they not do that, they added a tackle to the 53. I am now expecting Trent to not be there week 1. In order for Trent to be ready for week 1 he needs to be in the building by Wednesday at the latest.

It probably means that they want a tackle out there who can step in if Moore or McKivitz get injured.

I think Trent playing in week 1 is out of the question at this point. He last did any football activity in the Super Bowl. Yes hes a first ballot HoF but at 36 you cant just get off your ass after half a year and go straight into a football game with like one or two practices.

Not saying I think he's going to play but it won't be because of that.

At age 36 while not doing any football activities for 6 months and starting at left tackle ?

I don't know. I don't even think Eric Weddle was like this in 2021 for the Rams.

Throw some dirt on it.

But really, just because the rules allow reactivation in 4 weeks doesn't suggest to me that's what they expect. It does suggest he won't lose the whole season.

I've read statistics where after prison, the rate of repeat offenders or doing worse crime is between (best case scenario) 60% to worst case scenario - 80+%.

When a person is that steeped in negativity, there's only a small chance he can get out of it. A lot of gangs form because the members of the gang, their home situation is so abusive that being in a gang is actually (in a sense) less abusive and is actuslly a step up in the level of *family* structure than their own biological family.

Yeah, I mean I get all of that. But lots of people come from broken homes and don't commit crimes nor join gangs. I don't have a lot of sympathy for those who do crimes such as this one. Should they get help/treatment/counseling? Yes. But they can get it in prison and after they leave.

So are you saying, lighter sentence or none at all for this guy, because he could have a broken home life? Or because he could be a repeat offender? Or be subject to gangs? We know nothing about this guy so far. I really think he gets about 4 yrs plus one yr probation, will not be able to own a firearm ever, mandatory classes or counseling.

I'm ancient. So I know enough to know, in my life, that people can't change other people. Only he (the perpetrator of the crime) can change himself. Its his choice. Not you, me, or the prison guards. We can only be an example.

Prison - in a way - protects society from harm from these people steeped in negativity, and unfortunately it keeps these negative people with other negative people and now its hard for them to change even if they want to, becuase of the prison association makes them even more negative.

Its a tough problem that nobody has really solved since the beginning of the human race.
