Well, at least they mention the chiefs

Robert Griffin trade rumors already spinning out of control
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 28, 2012, 4:04 PM EST

APForget the Combine. Forget free agency. Robert Griffin III trade chatter dominates the NFL discussion these days.

And it’s still February.

Perhaps Rams COO Kevin Demoff is right: It’s getting less crazy to imagine a deal could be completed before free agency. We’ve read and heard an unprecedented amount of trade rumors about the No. 2 overall pick for this time of year.

Let’s go over the latest:

1. Mike Jones of the Washington Post writes the Redskins would give up the No. 6 overall pick and next year’s first round pick in addition to multiple picks in the mid-to-upper rounds of the draft. Consider this the starting point for negotiations.

The Rams are reportedly looking for a similar package to the one San Diego netted for Eli Manning: Two firsts (including the No. 4 overall pick), a third- and fifth-round pick. The Redskins sound ready to meet this demand.

2. Texas A&M prospect Ryan Tannehill is watching the Griffin talk closely. Jones believes the Redskins would take Tannehill at No. 6 overal if they can’t get Griffin.

3. Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer believes the Browns will ultimately have to give up three first-round picks in order to land Griffin. Do I hear four, Redskins? (This reminds us of a classic article by the Onion.)

4. Demoff told Peter King of SI.com that the Rams received a feeler from a team “you would never expect.” Does Kansas City count? If not, we’ll roll with Philadelphia as our irresponsible guess for a mystery team. Enter your pick below.

5. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch considers the Redskins the early favorite to land Griffin. This sounds true based on all the reports, plus Mike Shanahan’s close relationship with Jeff Fisher.

Yep that team was complete ass last year. They dont have any big name players BUT him and he's carrying the team. Thats what great qb's do.

I didn't say it wasn't worth it. I said it was infeasible for the Chiefs to match that offer. No one rang the RG3 bell harder or earlier here than me.

Moron.

I'm not the idiot spewing garbage about how we should have traded our entire 2012 and 2013 drafts when it STILL wouldn't have been enough.

I'd have given up the entire 2012 draft along with first rounders in 2013 and 2014 to get RGIII.

Who did the Chiefs draft this year that have made a difference? Who, outside of Houston in the 2011 draft, has made a difference?

The 2009 draft was a ****ing complete joke. No one should value these schmucks over RGIII.

The 2009 draft was a ****ing complete joke. And yet you value all these schmucks over RGIII?

If so, it's YOU that's a functional reerun.

You have reading comprehension issues.

I don't know off hand what picks you guys had available to give.

What else is new?

Good to see that you're sniping me out. Why do you call out Clay for picking on every little mistake you make, and then you go out and stalk comments I made 6 months ago?

How in the world can you say I'm right or wrong on this issue? I was a huge fan of RGIII. But people on this thread acted like we had to match Washington. We didn't. We had to BEAT their offer and it would have amounted to one of the biggest draft day trades in NFL history.
