Mandarinia Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Awesome article telling us not to do something we wouldn't do anyhow. Like telling a bald man to make sure he turns the curling iron off. No one else here curls their pubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Things have quickly turned sour for Robert Griffin III, and every time it seems as if it can't get any worse, it does. Jeff Darlington of NFL.com reports that after losing his job as the Redskins' starting quarterback in the preseason and then opening the regular season as the third-string quarterback, Griffin is so far down the Redskins' depth chart that he was being used as a safety on the Washington's scout team last week. Scout teams run the formations and plays of future opponents to help prepare the starters for what they may see in games. It is not unusual for a third-string quarterback to help out on the scout team. But it is unusual for a player with such a high profile as RG3 — Heisman Trophy winner, second overall pick in the NFL draft, former starter, $3.3 million salary — to take on a role usually reserved for undrafted free agents barely clinging to their NFL jobs. The move is also an enormous risk for the Redskins. By using Griffin in a position he is not used to playing, the coaches are increasing the chance that he gets hurt. As long as RG3 stays healthy, the Redskins can release him at any time and not be obligated to pay his 2016 salary, the final year on his rookie contract. But if RG3 does get hurt before the start of the 2016 league calendar year, his $16.2 million salary for next season becomes fully guaranteed.That's a lot of money for a third-string quarterback in a league in which salary-cap concerns are so strong that many teams carry only two quarterbacks. The Redskins have talked to other teams about trading for Griffin, but the injury guarantee for 2016 is probably a huge hurdle most teams are unwilling to overcome. While there may be interest in Griffin — he is still a talented quarterback when he is healthy — those teams are better off waiting for Washington to release Griffin and then signing him to a much more team-friendly salary for the 2016 season.Maybe Griffin is just being a team player, and maybe the coaches are just treating RG3 the same way they would treat anybody in his position. But it is hard to not see this as just another embarrassment for a player who is clearly no longer wanted in Washington. Maybe Robert Griffin III has finally hit rock bottom. > http://finance.yahoo.com/news/things-gotten-bad-robert-griffin-150109313.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
