Robert Griffin III is saying goodbye to the Washington Redskins. Four years after signing a $21.1million four-year contract with the team, that came with a $13.8million signing bonus, Griffin was seen cleaning out his locker for the final time following the Redskins loss to the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the playoffs on Sunday. It was a difficult four years for Griffin, who after a stellar rookie season faltered in his second year and was replaced by Kirk Cousins, never returning to his post as starting quarterback.

Brian Bosworth?
Can you see Manziel and Dez Bryant on the same team? No way....
I knew I was living in cloud-cuckoo land when Jimmy Johnson and the other ‘experts’ picked the Redskins to beat the Packers. The NFC East couldn’t whip a college team this year and DC could have finished at the bottom of that division as easily as not. They had no business being in the playoffs.
For Texan Fans, the big question is how much will the team be willing spend on a new Quarterback or two.
Picking this past weekend’s games was easy. If you picked the team with the better QB you went 4-0.
$41 million just to toss a ball around. Our priorities are so upside down it’s no wonder we’re in such a bad shape.
The Rams were the recipient of those picks, and we still did worse having the #1 overall pick slightly earlier, before the reform of rookie contracts in the salary cap era. We paid Sam Bradford MUCH more money and don’t even have one playoff appearence to show for it. Like the ‘skins, we still need a QB . . . and a wide receiver . . . and a tight end.
odd wildcard weekend each favored team lost
Who is Art Schlicter for 40 Alex?
Dallas will trade the 4th Pick for RG3.....maybe a 2nd round pick too. Jones is just that dumb.
Oh jeez, don't remind this Seahawk's fan.
Shades of Monday Night Football and Bo Jackson with the ball.
Yeah.... and Jason Garrett won’t go against him. That’s how Jason keeps his job....
I lived there during the Kreig/Largent years. I am a lifelong Packers fan...but the sure-handed Steve Largent was the smoothest receiver there ever was IMHO. What a joy it was to watch him work.
Hands down, it’s Ryan Leaf.
"Kreig, 36 yard pass to Largent...TOUCHDOWN SEAHAWKS!"
It looked good early for the Redskins, but eventually Aaron Rodgers became Aaron Rodgers again.
That doesn’t bode well for the Cardinals next week.
RGIII will be in Houston, I believe, will he be the starter, I don’t know.
RG3’s game was built around mobility. He suffered a knee injury, then was pressured to play before surgery, and really tore it up. Now he’s got the mobility of a park statue. He’s done.
I don’t blame RG3, who by all accounts is a decent guy. I think he got screwed by a bad organization.
He be no JaMarcus Ru$$ell . ..
