What's Next for RGIII

What's next for RGIII? Will Dallas take a chance on him? 

What`s next for RGIII?

by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright

He went from Baylor University standout quarterback to Heisman winner and 2012 NFL`s Rookie of The Year to a good quarterback looking for a team. How did this awesome athlete fall from grace? Lets take an in depth look at what`s next for RGIII.

I would say any other athlete in the world would be in the media ripping his head coach. So, since he won`t I will. RG3 performed at a high level for a team that has never had a line to block for him. He spent more time running for his life than running plays. He broke his leg in a game a played until he couldn`t go on it anymore. He suffered a concussion in a preseason game and in come Kirk Cousins and he played the rest of the year. Ow could this organization turn their backs on the franchise. In this article we would look at the teams and the numbers on RG3. I`m not a Redskins fan at all, but fair is fair. It`s sad to see how he was treated and mark my words he will be back!

Technically they Redskins has him under contract for the 2016 season because they exercised a $16.155 million fifth-year option on him.March 9th he will receive the bulk of the contract because his last season was injury ridden. Now on the 7th of February the Redskins will release him and try to retain the majority of the 16 million owed to him.

Potential Destinations

Houston Texans 

Brian Hoyer proved that he`s way to shaky to carry a team will talented players. I would say that this will be a great fit. Houston will pick 22nd in this years draft looking for a quarterback. But signing RG3 will give them a defensive pick.

St. Louis Rams

They have the 15th pick in the draft. Jeff Fisher is on the hot seat and need production at the QB spot. On the other hand, Jeff Fisher had a bad falling out with Vince Young another running quarterback.

Dallas Cowboys

Backing up Tony Romo who is under contract until 2019. He will get some playing time because Romo will get hurt. I would love to see him under center leading a dynamic offense with a proven line.

Other team interested are: New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs.

Two years into a 5 Year $ 35 Million deal, Mike Shanahan's Redskins accumulated 11 Wins & 21 Losses. At 2011's conclusion, fans were frustrated, and many lobbied for Owner Daniel Snyder to cut the cord. Exercising restraint, Shanahan was retained into year 3 of the seismic rebuild. 

Shanahan consummated a trade, moving from 6th to 2nd overall in the 2012 Draft to select Robert Griffin III.

Cowboys and Redskins take a huge hit before free agency tomorrow

Somehow...salary moves made by both the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins during the 2010 uncapped year will cost them millions. The Cowboys will lose $10 million and the Redskins will get dinged for $36 million. Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder decided to front load a few contracts to take advantage of the uncapped year, but other owners feel that this caused an unfair advantage. Fans of both teams beg to differ.


This will affect the Redskins the most since they have given up their draft for 3 years to acquire this year's number 2 pick, RGIII. This will make it tougher to build around him rather through the draft or free agency...
