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.

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.

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...

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.
