Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'm guessing the Chiefs. Low key media market, Reid is a QB guru, no pressure to start. What's your guess?

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

Chiefs same reason above...Reid was a big fan of RG3 during that draft year. Close to home and Smith is in the last year of his contract and he aint takin them to the promise land. RG3 would give the offense a shot in the arm after learning the system for a year.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I think him and the Chiefs would be a great fit, but he will end up in Cleveland. With the Chiefs he'd backup Alex Smith and at best fight for the starting job, but with Cleveland he'd probably be on the fast track to start next year, provided he does solid in camp. Plus I'm sure Hue Jackson will taylor his offense to help.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'd say the Chiefs would be a safe bet but would he go there to compete for an immediate start?
Is that the only way he'll go anywhere?
I'll say Cleveland.
That would get the Browns out of their QB drafting funk and allow them to use their #1 pick for a trench guy.

I could also see the 49ers if Kaepernick gets traded

A sleeper team I haven't heard anyone mention: Saints

Houston

SF or Houston

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

From ESPN:

The only decision left regarding the QB is whether the team uses a franchise or transition tag on him, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, at least two teams have asked about trading for QB Robert Griffin III, league sources told Schefter. Griffin would have to agree to a new deal, so he will have a big say in whether and where he is traded.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

A trade?
Oh please...
Oh please...

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'd love for a trade to happen, but maybe RG3 is so bitter towards us he would prefer a release so we don't get any compensation. RG3 doesn't have a choice in his contract, he will either renegotiate his current contract to be traded or he will have to sign a very team friendly contract for his next deal. I expect several teams to be interested in him but I don't think there will be a bidding war considered how bad he's looked.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'd say the Browns, Chiefs and 49ers are all areas he could go to.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

the best place for him to go long term is the chiefs. andy reid is the most likely person to get him back on track.

49ers or browns might give him a shot to start, but those aren't stable franchises right now, and he'll probably end up looking bad in either spot.

If McC get a pick for RG3 ill do cartwheels up 95 to help pack the bags.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I want to say the 49ers, since the news broke about Kaep's agents wanting a trade. Now, not saying Kaep is heading to the Redskins, but RGIII could be ideal for Chip Kelly.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

LA Rams

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

He's going to want to go where he has a chance to start. I honestly don't see one team where they would want him as their 16 game starter. Maybe the Rams. Cleveland will draft someone and that person will be their starter eventually. Eagles will end up resigning Bradford. He's going to have to go somewhere and probably be a backup.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

How about this:

The Redskins trade RGIII for Kaepernick (yes I know this is farfetched), and then turnaround and trade Kaep to the Jets for a couple second round picks? Since he said that is where he wants to wind up?

Yes, probably dumb. I shouldn't drink while I post.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'm going with broncos...his favorite team and elway is master of of getting guys to sign in Denver.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

Saints. They have to be thinking Brees is on borrowed time.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I would say the Rams. Jeff Fisher will have gotten all those picks and still end up with the player who went at the number 2 spot. Fisher can finally say he won something.

As far as a trade, its not going to happen. RG3 will say no to any reworking of his contract so he can go to the team he wants, not the team the Redskins want. Plus, if a team is going to give him 5 mil a year (or whatever number) to do a trade, then they will offer that to him as a FA. There is absolutely zero reason for RG3 or his agent to care about reworking his contract for a trade.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I'm sticking with Houston

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

If a trade is done I'll stick with my original guess of Houston or the 49's if it's a flat out release..... the Cowboys or Rams.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

Houston makes the most sense to me. They have absolutely nobody at QB and they need to win now. I believe RGIII would start there and that he would help them more than anyone they could draft. I also think that the Texans' strong defense and the fact that they are located in Texas where RGIII has family and many fans would appeal to him.

I'd love to see RGIII revive his NFL career. He's a good man and he deserves another shot as an NFL starter.

p.s. It's a 3 hour drive from his hometown of Cpperas Cove, TX to Houston.

I don't know, so I'm asking: If he Skins had a deal in place with another team that didn't want to risk losing RGIII to another team in FA, couldn't the Skins exercise his $16.5MM option and then trade him? If so, at that point his $16.5MM guaranteed contract would be the starting point for any negotiations between RGIII and his new team.

Yes but they would have to negotiate down because no one would be willing to pay that much for his services. Plus, if no deal happens then we are on the hook for the 16.5mil

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

I think he goes to the Jets and Geno ends up in D.C. (as a backup, of course). If Fitz resigns then they will battle for the starting gig. After last season, I do not see RG going to a team where he waits in the wings (like Dallas). He wants a chance to be on the field. That is why Rams and Browns also make sense.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

IMO, RG3 for Geno Smith would be a good trade. They both need a fresh start and have possibly matured a little.

I kinda disagree on RGIII having no motivation to be part of a trade. But the biggest motivation is non-football and maybe not a factor. DS has been nothing if not loyal to RGIII, and players have often shown loyalty to DS regardless of the coaching/FO mess and it may be that if the Skins deal only with teams he wants to go to, that he may pay back that loyalty by doing a deal within the framework of a trade. So maybe the Skins working with Griffins agent works up competing offers from Houston and SF,for example. If that happened the Skins might get a late pick or a player and RGIII and the other team have a mutually agreed deal in place.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

What do you believe RGIII's current FA value is?

I don't think anybody really has a good idea.

If one team is interested, then his value is whatever the interested team says it is.

He hasn't shown anything since late 2012 to demonstrate he is a NFL starter to build around.

With the reluctance to overpay for a project QB, I believe he will hit FA and somebody will take a cheap flyer on him.

His option is already exercised, that was done last year. But it does not become guaranteed money until the start of the new league year (march 9th). Since its not guaranteed, the Redskins can cut him before then without having to pay a cent of that.

If the Redskins do a trade, the team will either take RG3 at the 16+ mil option, or renegotiate a new contract with him. However, that needs to take place prior to march 9th. Since it guarantees then, and why would any player or agent renegotiate a guaranteed contract to a much lower price?

To me, its fairly simple. No team is going to pay him 16+ mil next year and RG3 will want the option to go to the team of his choosing. I will never say anything is impossible when it comes to professional sports, but I just dont see the RG3 camp as agreeing to any reduced contract right now with a team of the Redskins choosing.

Hey RG3, its Danny here. I want to show my loyalty to you by cutting your pay significantly and then send you to Cleveland...

The agent has no reason to work with the skins for competing offers. He can just wait for him to be cut and work with whatever teams are interested to work up competing offers. There really is nothing in it for them to do it that way. If a team makes a contract offer to do a trade, then that team will make the same offer in FA, and maybe more if other teams get involved. Even if its a difference of 2 mil per year or 2.1 mil. Why not go for the extra 100k?

As I said in the previous post, I will never say anything is impossible when it comes to professional sports. But I fully expect RG3 and his agent will just give the NFL line... Its a business and we made a business decision. He is leaving town, that is pretty much guaranteed. I doubt RG3 is going to lose sleep over the skins not getting an extra 6th or 7th round pick.

They may, but your comment is not what I was saying. More so Bruce Allen and DS say we are sorry it didn't work here but we are going to try and work with you and get you where you want to be.

It may not happen but personal relationships are huge when it comes to making deals and I think DS being at RGIII's bedside after his surgery is something that RGIII will never forget.

I remember when the story first broke about DS being at RG3's bedside. There were lots of comparisons to the Joe Theisman injury, etc. I remember one of the articles i read speculated that the reason why Dan Snyder had flown in to see RG3 was because his injury was considered to be "career ending", and they were hyping up the fact that DS had allegedly never flown to be with another injured player.

I thought since that day that RG3 and Snyder would always share some kind of bond. Still might be crazy but I think they figure out a way to keep him here as a backup, because it sounds like the Cousins situation has imploded...

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

if i'm RGIII, i'm not going for a trade unless the offer is better than the open market, which isn't likely.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

RGIII is GUARANTEED $16M if he's on the roster this year.

AKA it's not going to happen.

The Cousins situation will likely go down to the wire, because that's just how these things work. Neither side is going to budge until they have to.

C'mon. He is going to be on an NFL roster next year.

People also don't realize that if a team approaches the Redskins about trading for RG3, it means that they are actually interested in him. So it'd be a stupid for him to flat out say no to a team that is interested in acquiring him. Even though teams know he'll be realize, some team may decide that they a.) want him and b.) don't want to have to fight over other teams for him.

Re: Predict RGIII's next team
 

If a team was interested in RG3, why not start showing interest and talking contract now ... even though Im sure they have no real intent to do a sign and trade. I assume skins gave permission for teams to talk sign and trade w RG3s people.

Basically like early FA for RG3 .. which is a benefit to him.

my prediction - cowboys or houston. i think rg3 goes back home. i wish him the best.

Eventually that's where I think he might end up. But not now. He'll get another team or two that will give him a shot. Look at some of the scrub QB's through the years that got several chances.
