Given the context of the conversation, he basically is owed $16 million. Yes, as of now it is only guaranteed for injury, and does not become fully guaranteed until the first day of the league year, but anyone that trades for him or claims him off waivers is on the hook for those same conditions.

That really isn't how the poster I was responding to intended, or how many other posters in this same thread thought it was. And in regards to your scenario, if he was traded or claimed off waivers for a new team, the chances he would be injured is even less than in Washington because he'd be expected to learn the playbook and would not be ready to play for a while. Anyone bringing him in isn't looking for him to be their starter in 2015.

Our backups are abysmal. If he gets cut and wants to come here then let him. He is not starter quality, but he is an upgrade over Weeden.

RG3 is an injury waiting to happen no matter when he plays.

It boggles my mind that there are Cowboys fans who want RG3 on our team or are okay with him being on our team.

He is not a good QB. He has absolutely none of the intangibles that you want your QB to have. And I think he'd be terrible trying to run our offense. I pray he never wears the star.

Let some other team deal with his subpar skills and drama.

I want him as our backup.

Maybe it's good to pass though because of the circus that now comes with him.

Yup, whoever he was. Impressive kid.

And if they keep him and cut Shaun Hill, I'd take that guy, too, over Weeden.

He came out of my alma mater, Old Dominion, and may have been the first to be drafted. I watched him throughout college. He won the Walter Payton award and was the CMA offensive POY in '12. I was hoping Dallas would pick him up.

I just learned that Old Dominion has a football team this weekend. Thought they were one of those basketball-only schools.

Griffin is an Akili Smith clone with the ego of Brett Favre. Two things that'll get you black listed in this league unless you're a winner. Dude is only a notch above Tebow in my book.

We just got it going in 2011 and joined the CCA. It was extremely popular (big part due to Heinicke) and were able to move up to Conference USA in 2013.

This entire thread is a perfect example of what happens when you subscribe to group think.

A bunch of fans repeating the same thing over and over because they've read reports that the media has sensationalized, and now everyone is an expert on what it takes to make an NFL roster, and who's able or unable to to fix their flaws.

We are talking about a BACKUP QB spot and a former 1st round stud coming out of college. Take your heads out of your rears and think before just spewing the same talking points over and over.
