SBXVII has his info a bit mixed up. RG3 is not holding private workouts with any teams, not just the Colts

So to clarify, he did not specifically turn down just the Colts.

Beat me to it. But yeah that's what it is. Confirmed it with Baylor just now

Well it's my understanding the rookie wage scale is just a guideline for what they should be payed according to draft slot. Teams still have to negotiate contracts with the rookies. But I think there is an actual cap on how much money you can distribute to your rookie class, and that factors into it as well.

This is slightly curious. Since it's pretty clear he's coming here (forget Wilbon, he is just backing up what his boy McBust said and is equally bitter) I wonder why he didn't want to come in and do a private workout with the Redskins. I guess it really doesn't matter at the end of the day.

In other news, Luck is working out for the Colts today, and RG3 turned them down. Again in case you missed it, RG3 turned them down.

I retract my "pulled out of thin air" statement made to SBVIII then. Kind of odd he decided no private workouts with any teams.

Ohs noes. I broke the site. It looks like a basic textual webpage with no background.

Edit: It came back.
