Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III is drawing trade interest from other teams, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport (on Twitter). Griffin is due $2MM in 2020, though that sum is completely non-guaranteed.
Griffin, 30, currently serves as the backup to superstar QB Lamar Jackson. It’s surprising to hear that the Ravens would entertain trades for him, though it’s possible that they would like to add to their draft stockpile while replacing him with another QB2. If the Ravens move on from Griffin and do not sign or draft another signal caller, they’d be left with Penn State product Trace McSorley as Jackson’s backstop.
Last year, Griffin was called upon to start in the season finale against the Jets. The Ravens won that game 28-10, though Griffin completed just over half of his pass attempts.
This isn’t the first time that Griffin has drawn trade interest during his Ravens tenure. In April of last year, the Jaguars reportedly expressed interest in the longtime Redskins star before inking Nick Foles to a massive free agent deal.
Griffin won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor and looked the part of a future NFL megastar in his rookie season with the Redskins. Health issues sidetracked him afterwards. No one expects Griffin to reprise his 2012 campaign, but he still holds lots of value for NFL teams.
That week 17 game was against the steelers, not jets.
And “longtime Redskins star” wasn’t it just 2 years, only one of which was as a “star”
Accuracy isn’t one of Zach’s strong points.
The last game was vs Pittsburgh. Oh by the way, hopefully they do replace him. Kaepernick would be amazing to have as a backup and he can start when that despicable thug Garrett hits Jackson in the head
Kale Rick is a joke. No team wants him
You wouldn’t call him a thug to his face.
Why wouldn’t he?? Hed get knocked unconscious, and then he would be rich..lol
Ya but myles would cry and say a racial slur was involved
Nobody wants that little punk butt Kap…hes nothing but rude and disrespectful. Hes not coming back and lol we wouldn’t sign him, you sound like a piece of meat fan. Or racist person.
Lol the xfl dont even want him
You sound uneducated
Any GM worth his salt will at least LISTEN to trade offers – regardless of the team’s desire to actually trade a player.
4 seasons makes you a longtime member?
4 seasons is longer than the average NFL career, so in this context it does
“Longtime Redskins Star”????? “Megastar”??? When he used his run first style, no team was prepared to stop that type of attack from the QB which was why he was so successful…when teams schemed against that possibility….his effectiveness went down and he had too actually throw the ball which wasn’t his primary weapon of choice…..
He emboldened the “run first” QB that is in vogue right not on both the Ravens and Texans.
Another “drawing interest” from other teams story which is what this site is famous for….click bait….a $ 2Million dollar backup that is one pass rush away from nowheresville and a career ending injury on those knees.
You say its click bait….yet you keep on clickin’.
Also, the article says he “looked like a future NFL megastar” not that he actually became or was one.
