Trade RG3 to Dallas?

Yeah, RGIII is so disliked by Couisins and his teammates:

@john_keim: The offensive line still working nearly 45 minutes after practice. Robert Griffin III still out there too. #Redskins http://t.co/uN6LNtoFAK

Dallas traded for Matt Cassel, so no chance of RG3 going there now.

Shows what I know.. I listed off 4 or 5 QBs.. none of which were Matt Cassell. A lot of us have seen Tyrod Taylor play when he was at VT. I'm not sure what Rex Ryan thinks he's capable of but NFL QB isn't one of my top guesses.. I expected him to keep Cassel just in case..

Dallas would have had to offer a fortune for him, we still have to play them twice...

No one is going to trade for him. Romo is getting older, he's injury prone and Dallas still didn't pull the trigger. The Skins will end up cutting him in the off season.

Romo isn't the only "franchise" quarterback around 35, there are quite a few.
Unless Scot has an unrealistic asking price the fact RG3 is still here speaks volumes of what the league thinks of his future.

Unless RG3 is willing to redo the contract for 2016 there is no chance of someone trading for him. Period. End of story.. The only real chance the team has at getting trade value here is to make RG3 a partner in the process. He needs to sign a reworked deal for a value that reflects his current market value and in exchange let him pick a few teams that he can veto a trade. This makes both parties winners in the long run.

That said, RG3 may be perfectly happy being on the roster this year and being cut in the offseason. In that event he would have full control of his destiny and the FA market could get him a little more money if a few teams show some interest.

There are teams interested in RG3 who believe that he could be a worthwhile project. It's that 16mil for 2016 that's keeping the phones silent.

I would agree with this, except that Tim Tebow, who cannot throw a decent NFL pass to save his life, has had multiple opportunities (and brings a lot of distraction).

I am just assuming Robert and his agent are smart enough to realize no one
is going to pay him $16 mil for 2016 and he either reworks it or is cut. I could
be wrong, since it is only guaranteed for injury I would assume getting cut means he gets nothing. In reality unless Robert goes on the field and suffers
an injury that puts him out through 2016 that contract is meaningless.

That's correct.. If he gets cut there is no guaranteed money. My point is that having that contract gives him most of the power in this situation. If a team called and were willing to give two #1 picks, we couldn't do anything unless (a) that team would take the 16mil contract, which won't happen (b) RG3 would have to agree to a new deal before the trade or (c) the Redskins would have to agree to pay a portion of his 2016 contract, which would realistically be most or all of it to do a trade. So, in reality, RG3 has a lot of say in what happens here. The odds of getting a deal done that would get us trade value is slim unless it was a situation that the RG3 camp was interested in.
