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.

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.
