Report: Washington To Release Robert Griffin III
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- The NFL's free-agent quarterback list just got a lot more exciting.
While it seemed imminent, multiple reports indicate that Washington has told Robert Griffin III will be released. Washington will save about $16 million with the move, money they would lose with Griffin on the roster when the 2016 officially begins (March 9th at 4:00 p.m. E.T.).
The Eagles, who recently re-signed Sam Bradford to a two-year contract, have been linked to Griffin as a potential suitor. According to a recent report, 10-15 teams may be interested in the former Heisman Trophy winner.
