I get alot of slack from my DC Natives because I am not and never have been a Washington Redskins fan. After the selection of the accident-prone QB Robert Griffin III true fans diminished and just as I thought the Redskins are ready to cut their ties to the once GREAT HOPE. LOL
According to John Keim of ESPN.com, it doesn’t look like the Redskins will be extending Griffin’s contract this year.
Griffin has been extremely injury prone this season, and has been unable to get back to his rookie season form. He was an absolute beast in his first year, and actually led Washington to the playoffs. Since then, he has been extremely inconsistent when he has been on the field and more than often he has been sitting on the sidelines due to injuries.
Washington tried to give Kirk Cousins a chance when Griffin went out with injury this year, but he was unable to take advantage of that chance. Third-string quarterback Colt McCoy on the other hand did take advantage of the opportunity, and perhaps he should get more playing time at the end of the year assuming the Redskins get eliminated earlier once again.
It’s going to be intriguing to see what ends up happening with this situation, especially with all of the news coming out. The Redskins definitely aren’t sold anymore that Griffin is their long-term guy, but he still has so much potential if he can figure everything out. Griffin has been very adamant about his belief that he is the Redskins’ guy, and that he will lead the team forward.
That being said, he will have to prove his worth over the next few weeks if he wants to hold onto that starting job throughout the off-season. He will likely be the starter for another year at least, but McCoy might have a chance to have a competition with Griffin assuming he’s back with the team in preseason action. Either way, the Redskins’ patience is wearing thin with Griffin. (source)
