If the Washington Redskins truly are finished with RG3, the question now is, what can Washington get for the embattled quarterback on the trade market.
After speaking with several league executives, NFL Media’s Albert Breer said Griffin’s trade value right now would land a conditional mid-round draft pick at best.
“He’s a car that’s been driven off the lot;
also, the dynamics of his contract drive his price down,” one NFC general manager told Breer. “The biggest keys — QBs go for more than other positions, and his contract is ticking down to the last year, unless a team wants to pick up that option.”
An AFC executive added: “On the high end, the team asks for a two and settles for a third or maybe a fourth.”
That’s not even close to the haul the Redskins sent the Rams for the right to draft RG3. It looks like the Redskins paid for a Bentley, and ended up with a Hyundai.
