Bears, Bills, Browns, Eagles, Giants most likely destinations for Robert Griffin III – ESPN.com

"The Washington Redskins named Kirk Cousins their starting quarterback on Monday for Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, putting Robert Griffin III’s future with the franchise in serious doubt.With final cuts due by 4 p.m. ET Saturday, we asked our NFL Nation network of 32 reporters to rate the interest (low, medium, high) each of their teams would have in acquiring Griffin, who could be traded or released by the Redskins.NFC EASTDallas Cowboys: Low. I wanted to say medium because of the deferential way Jerry Jones spoke about Robert Griffin III after the Thanksgiving game in which the quarterback had four touchdown passes. The Cowboys like to take chances on former high-round picks and would have a chance at an ultimate bargain in Griffin. But the circus around his acquisition would be too much to take. — Todd ArcherNew York Giants: Medium. This actually makes more sense than you might think, though only if the Giants think he’s retrievable. Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn’t missed a game in his entire career, which dates back to 2004, so the job of the Giants’ backup quarterback is basically to run the scout team. Griffin could be a valuable scout team quarterback due to his speed and athleticism and his ability to mimic different kinds of quarterbacks. And if the Giants see him as a guy they can still develop into something down the road, it could be worth considering. A bigger issue than Eli actually might be backup Ryan Nassib, whom they like, and the Giants’ preference not to carry three quarterbacks. — Dan GrazianoPhiladelphia Eagles: Medium. Normally, the answer would be “low” for a team that traded for Sam Bradford and signed Tim Tebow in the offseason. But we’re talking about Chip Kelly here, and visions of RG III running Kelly’s offense could prove irresistible. — Phil Sheridan"

Trade shows Eagles coach Chip Kelly has plan for Tim Tebow – Phil Sheridan of ESPN.com

"PHILADELPHIA — It isn’t easy to compete with a phenomenon.Matt Barkley learned that firsthand this summer. When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Tim Tebow to compete with Barkley for their third quarterback job, the outcome seemed to be a foregone conclusion.On one side was Barkley, a 2013 fourth-round pick who had thrown a total of 50 passes in his two-year career with the Eagles. Barkley was a good college quarterback at USC, and he developed a good feel for coach Chip Kelly’s offense.On the other side was Tebow, a legitimate phenomenon off the field as well as on it. The Heisman Trophy winner and former first-round draft pick had been out of the NFL for two seasons, but he still has a loyal contingent of fans who follow his every move."
