Robert Griffin III appears to be done in Washington, and trade rumors have begun to swirl. While the embattled quarterback isn’t the prize he once was during his outstanding rookie campaign, his raw talent alone is intriguing enough that a trade is conceivable.
Any team interested in the possibility of landing Griffin in a trade with Washington surely understands this isn’t a guy that’s ready to plug and play.
Instead, the best landing spot would be on a team that already has an established veteran on the payroll. This way RG3 could enter a pressure-free environment and start from scratch with a new team without the weight of the world on his shoulders.
It’s worth noting that Griffin’s 2016 salary is currently set at $16.2 million, which is certainly a deterrent to any potential trade. However, a reworked deal could potentially provide a solution to this problem
With this in mind, the following franchises should take a serious look at making a deal for Griffin, who still may develop into a long-term superstar in the NFL under the right circumstances.
