Not surprising.  I hope this is a wake up call for him.

TR needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.  Maybe have a couple of heart-to-hearts with CNS and whoever in the NFL will give him honest feedback.  He has too much ability not to be a good NFL player.  I don't understand what has happened to him, but I hope he gets it together.  I'll be pulling for him.

Trent going to Oakland per ESPN twitter feed.  See left side of this link.

Sounds like he was their 2nd choice.  I just hope he makes the most of this chance.  Don't know how many more chances he'll get.

I almost get the feeling that someone needs to tell TR that he "can't" make it as an NFL RB.  Some people thrive off of trying to prove nay-sayers wrong...He seems to be that type...

Trent signed by Oakland. I don't think that's a good thing. If you're trying to fix your attitude and get your head on straight, Oakland is not the place to do that. Sort of like working in a bar if you're a recovering alcoholic. I hope he does well, but I am not hopeful for his future.
