Redskins’ Potentially Looking To Dump RGIII This Season
AUGUST 29TH, 2015 Anthony DiMoro
It appears the Washington Redskin’s marriage to quarterback Robert Griffin III could come to an end before the conclusion of the 2016 regular season.
According to a source, Washington has internally discussed a potential trade of RGIII and has at least put out “minimal feelers” to gauge what trade value the oft-injured former 1st round pick could have.
RGIII’s recent injury/concussion, which has spawned a lot of conspiracy theories, may be a precursor to an RGIII departure. It is believed that if RGIII has a poor start to the 2015 regular season or if he cannot stay on the field the team would look to trading him ahead of the NFL trade deadline instead of waiting until the end of the season.
Teams like the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans and Chicago Bears were mentioned as possible candidates to engage in trade discussions should RGIII become available.
In the event of an RGIII trade Washington would then turn the reigns over to Kirk Cousins for the remainder of the year.
