NFL may be done with Robert Griffin III
The Cleveland Browns replaced Robert Griffin III with Brock Osweiler on their roster this week. That came after Cleveland acquired Osweiler from the Houston Texans on Thursday, one day before sending RGIII packing. This in and of itself should tell us how far the former No. 2 overall pick has fallen.
While reports surfaced immediately that RGIII is interested in signing with the New York Jets, there doesn’t seem to be any team out there paying much attention to the former Pro Bowler.
Per @RapSheet not looking like there will be much of a market for RGIII.

Dealing with injuries once again in his only season with the Browns, RGIII put up just two touchdowns and three interceptions in five starts. He’s no longer the dynamic playmaker that made him such a sensation in the nation’s capital as a rookie back in 2012. That time surely has passed.
One now has to wonder whether his career in the NFL is completely over. Sure there’s teams out there in less-than-stellar quarterback situations. But if the factory of sadness decided he wasn’t worth a roster spot, that should tell us all we need to know.
