RG3 available?
 

There seems to be a list of QBs who are rumored to be available this spring and one may be Robert Griffin, according to sources. Then you have the Coyer/Manziel issue, the Mallett tryout ending prematurely, the lack of a top QB in this year's draft and you have a lot of options for the Texans but none of them outstanding.

If you're the GM what strings would you pull?

If I were the GM I would like to think that after the season I'd be pulling strings trying to get a new job.

But no, thank you, I do not want Griffin. And more relevantly I can't imagine BOB would, either.

It's impossible to know what a reasonable course of action might be without knowing what if anything Savage is showing in practice.

Using the current situation's known and unknowns, I would try as hard as I could to extend Mallet right now.

Get him for backup money with a ton of incentives. He will have to compete for the starting role, and should be able to make mid-level starters money if he stays healthy and produces. I would take a flyer on a 1 or 2 year deal.

I am not sold on QBs in the draft at #10-15, our most likely draft position.

Because I don't know how Savage is doing, I cannot predict a QB drafted in the back half of the draft.

Forgot to say, I would not touch RG3.

This is where I'm at. I like the NFL-schooled Mallet over any of the college boys coming out. The only other prospect that intrigues me is (don't laugh) Colt McCoy. He almost got killed playing for Cleveland, they dumped him and he has looked good so far with Washington - 2 games, 36/42 (85.7%), 427 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. I believe he starts on Sunday and it will be interesting to see how he does the rest of the year....

I do think Washington has done its best to ruin RG3 so he will be available for trade, but agree, likely that won't be to Texans. RG3 might be successful somewhere once he heals up physically and mentally.

They have not been great for him. But RG3 has done an even better job ruining himself. He is a huge drama queen and has already seriously feuded with two coaches in 3 years and lost the locker room and the fan base to Colt McCoy. He may face a Tim Tebow situation where no team wants an attention starved backup QB, and I'm not sure anyone wants to invest in him as a starter at this point. His best chance at an NFL job might be if the Jets or some media hungry team decides to reunite him with Art Briles.

I'm actually more interested in Sam Bradford if he gets cut in 2015, which seems likely. As long as he's cheap, I think he might be worth a shot competing with Ryan Mallet through training camp and the preseason.

RG3 and Sam Bradford seem to have been injured quite a bit for some reason. just a concern.

Particularly love the Redskin logo with the facepalm.

It's a long shot, but there's a chance Drew Brees could be available. He'll count $26.4 million against the cap next year and the Saints are going to have to gut their roster to get under.
