[Ethereum] Can’t send REQ tokens with Metamask Chrome Extension

metamaskmyetherwallet

I sent some REQ tokens to my Metalink chrome extension. I had to add the REQ token myself, and I received the tokens I sent successfully. However, when I try to send some of my tokens anywhere, Metamask automatically restricts me from sending anything but ETHER.

I went to MyEtherWallet, connected to Metamask and successfully selected 283 REQ tokens to be send to an address. However, after I confirm my transfer detail on MEW and it opens my Metamask chrome extension, I get this screen:

I can't find anyone else who had a similar problem. I thought that Metamask might have disabled token transaction for some time, but that doesn't really makes sense to me. especially as I sent the tokens through MyEtherWallet.

Is there anyone who might know what is the problem and why my REQ tokens are trapped in Metamask?

edit: I did add the REQ token and a valid contract address from https://etherscan.io/token/0x8f8221afbb33998d8584a2b05749ba73c37a938a?a=0x2fa35a2773f720ddc374e8efb4a82fc4594425d8

Here is a screenshot of my Metamask interface

Your ether balance is 0, which is insufficient to pay the fee for the transaction you're doing. All transactions in Ethereum require gas, and ether is used to pay for that gas. Transfer some ether into that account and try again. (You should need less than a dollar's worth of ether.)
