Odds on Where RGIII Will Play in 2016

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - Jan. 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Once upon a time, Robert Griffin III was a highly-prized rookie that looked as worthy of being labeled as a ‘franchise quarterback’ as any first year signal-caller to come into the league in the last few decades. But following his rookie campaign, nothing has gone right for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

In 2013, Griffin III began the season trying to bounce back from the torn ACL he suffered in the 2012 Wildcard Round. However, the former Baylor star struggled in his second season and was eventually benched for the final three games of the season.

In 2014, RGIII was limited to seven starts and lost his starting job when he suffered a concussion in Washington’s second preseason game. Now that we know that RGII is never play quarterback in the nation’s capitol, NFL fans everywhere want to know where RG3 will look to resurrect his career. Griffin is technically under contract for $16.155 million in 2016 because the Redskins exercised a fifth-year option on him. The option year becomes fully guaranteed on the first day of the 2016 league year, which is March 9, so Griffin would definitely be out of Washington by then. The earliest the Redskins can part ways with the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner is Feb. 8, a day after Super Bowl 50. Now, let’s look at Griffin’s possible destinations and check the respective odds as provided by MyBookie.ag Sportsbook.

Houston Texans (+750)

Houston has gone 9-7 in each of Bill O’Brien’s two seasons, including a playoff appearance this postseason. Unfortunately, Brian Hoyer is not starting material, leaving O’Brien in desperate need of a more talented player. Now, O’Brien is widely-recognized as a great quarterback whisperer and could very well be the man to revive Griffin III career.

L.A Rams (+550)

The Rams signed former Eagles starter Nick Foles to a two-year, $24.5 million contract extension this past season but quickly found out that Foles is not the answer before benching him in favor of backup Case Keenum. Foles has a $6 million bonus due on March 11 that is already fully guaranteed, but it looks like the Rams are ready to move on and Griffin III could be the answer for a team in desperate need of a quality starter.

Dallas Cowboys (+325)

By landing with Dallas, Griffin III would be back in his home state where he’d join a Cowboys team that clearly needs a backup to oft-injured – and aging – starter Tony Romo who is under contract through 2019. Sure, RG3 would like a chance to start wherever he goes, but joining the Cowboys were Romo is almost a sure starter will put him in the same position he’s right now.

San Francisco 49ers (-150)

With Chip Kelly landing in Frisco, who knows what the Niners will do with their quarterback situation. Kelly could choose to revive the career of talented former starter Colin Kaepernick or he could choose to bring in fresh blood like Griffin III. Kelly loves mobile quarterbacks that can play in his up-tempo spread offense, which, by the way, is nearly identical to the system that Griffin III played in under Art Briles at Baylor.

Other Team -150

Griffin III is a -150 pick to sign with any other team not on the above list!
