I think at this point RG3 knows there is zero chance of him getting that 16M next year, unless he gets hurt this year. Whether he gets cut or traded, he will be working on a new contract one way or the other. It does give him a little say in where he goes in a trade though.

well in the trade scenario, you have to assume he'd rework that with the new team since he wouldn't have a future here. no sane team is going to take him with that liability still intact.

It's right on his timeline plus the subsequent conversation explaining that to people who misinterpreted. Wasn't deleted

Ok thanks, I wanted to retweet and it kept saying tweet no longer available. Guess just a glitch.

Nothing is going to happen until he's cleared to play. Even then, you'll have to get RG3 to agree to change that option year, so my guess it's more likely he'll be cut. I do hope we can get a draft pick for him though.

We know that McLoughan has say over player personnel, but has anybody ever heard Allen or Snyder say that he has control over coaching decisions? Serious question because I don't think he does. I think he and Gruden are peers in the reporting hierarchy, both reporting to Allen.

Allen might ask McLoughan what he thinks but I am pretty sure Allen retains the decision making on the head coach.

I asked a few people this, and they all told me Scot's decision

Ok thanks good to know. I remember Allen saying total control over player personnel and never really saying anything about coaches, so I was left to wonder. Nice to know from someone in the know, thanks Smoot.

Glad Smoot answered this as well, but I specifically remember one press conference earlier this year when that specific question was asked. Needless to say he was very vague about "personnel" as it relates to coaches/staff. He was pretty much putting it out there that HE was the one in charge of that decision. I remember being livid because I was thinking "exactly what has changed", and thought at the time it was going to be a cluster fuck with one guy (BA) in charge of coaching decisions and one guy (SM) in charge of player personnel.

Not sure I believe everything said by Gruden, I think some of it is 'towing the company line'...

I'd rather Gruden tow the company line than be so blatantly straightforward it causes national news and is quoted for years to come. Really really want boring media coverage for the team, when we have no news to read every day we'll have finally become a legit franchise.

I guess really RG3 will not be gone from the team until Snyder tells them to do it. It could be the type of situation where RG3 gets another chance with the new coach, is benched, new coach gets fired, then replacement coach gives him another chance, he is benched, etc... rinse and repeat
