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.

$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.

So our priories should be to force wage controls on the NFL via government control...?

I know it maybe a shock, but the NFL pays athletics that type of money because of market forces dictate that pay....

As long as it's not taxpayer money paying players, I could care less how much the NFL owner wants to pay their players...
