Washington Redskins "Would Take Anything" For Robert Griffin III At This Point

The new NFL league year is rapidly approaching, but the Washington Redskins are still holding out hope they will receive something — anything really — in return for embattled quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Just a week ago, Redskins team president Bruce Allen was quick to let everyone know that a number of teams were interested in Griffin III.

“I see Robert getting an opportunity with another team,” Allen said. “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.”

ESPN backed up his claims, saying two teams were indeed interested.

At least two teams have talked to the Redskins about trading for Robert Griffin III, ESPN reports.

If Griffin III feels like he’s a solid fit with either team that checked in on him, he can undoubtedly help his own cause by agreeing to rework the $16.155 million on his current deal that becomes fully guaranteed on March 9.

However, the chances of someone giving up even a seventh-round draft pick for someone who will be a free agent in a few weeks seem slim to none. Griffin III is simply not in enough demand currently.

But that could always change down the road if the San Francisco 49ers and Colin Kaepernick agree to give their marriage another shot, as there aren’t many quarterbacks who have led teams to the playoffs available this offseason.

Nevertheless, Griffin III will find himself on an NFL roster before long. However, he might have to settle for a backup role with a team like the Dallas Cowboys, as the two parties have expressed mutual interest.

In a radio interview, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said signing Robert Griffin III will be “in play” for the Cowboys. https://t.co/7hIZ8b1KnU

It’s hard to imagine Griffin III projected things to go this way in Washington after his spectacular 2012 rookie campaign. Perhaps a change of scenery will do the former Baylor standout a ton of good, as at just 26 years old, he surely has enough time to revive his once promising career.
