Robert Griffin III To Be Cut From The Washington Redskins The writing has been on the wall for quite some time now, but yesterday the Washington Redskin’s president Bruce Allen made the official announcement that Robert Griffin III will be cut from the team according to NFL.com “Well, no. I see Robert getting an opportunity with another team,” Allen said when asked if RGIII would be back. “We’ve heard from some teams that are interested. I think he’s going to have a choice of a couple teams that will let him excel in the future.” The Redskins sat Griffin the entire season as their No. 3 quarterback to ensure he didn’t get injured and they could clear his more than $16 million contract from the books this offseason. Griffin’s demeanor during the year left a positive impression on Allen and possibly on whichever team the quarterback lands in 2016. “From the very beginning Robert has handled himself as a professional,” Allen said. “From when we first drafted him all the way through he’s been a good teammate and a good guy. I know some people on the outside always like to be critical, but his teammates like him, his coaches like him, he does have some special talents and we wish him well.” We know that black quarterbacks aren’t exactly the darlings of the NFL, hopefully RGIII gets an opportunity to redeem himself with another team.
