Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will not return to the team next season, according to CBS Sports.

After losing his starting job to Colt McCoy, several in the organization believe that the team will part with Griffin after the season. There has reportedly been a growing rift between Griffin and the team that is beyond repair.

After giving up three first-round draft picks to select Griffin No. 2 overall in 2012, the team will likely trade him in the offseason. CBS Sports contacted five evaluators about Griffin, and only one believed the Redskins would get as high as a third-round pick for him.



Jeez, talk about horrible ROI.

So was the RGIII trade worse than the Ricky Williams trade?

I wonder where he'll end up. He's not the kind of guy you want to have as a backup unless your starter is a read option guy, too.

wouldn't it be hilarious if he ends up with the Rams?

doubt they'd trade him to a division foe...but RG3 to Philly? That would get his career back on track.

I believe I said on this board several years ago that RGIII is a bust waiting to happen. I was laughed at.

If you said that about every player, your success rate would be about 99% so don't pat yourself on the back.

Yes. The Saints eventually recouped 2 1st round picks for Williams. Redskins are going to get nothing and like it.

Ricky trade isn't close to as bad. We got back a couple 1st rounders and Ricky actually produced a little for us for a few years.

A bad QB you risk everything for is much more crippling than a bad RB as well.

But is it a worse decision to risk everything for a qb than to risk everything for a rb?

I'd say the Redskins wind up worse off when it's all done, but the Ricky Williams trade was a worse decision.

I agree with that.

Ricky doing well in Miami and getting us a couple 1st rounders back saved our arse with that deal.

He didn't do this. He was handed the keys to a car without wheels.

I can agree with that.

Here's what St. Louis got with all the picks they got from Washington:
No. 2: St. Louis ? Washington (PD). St. Louis traded this selection to Washington for first-round selections in 2012 (6th), 2013 (22nd), and 2014 (2nd), and a 2012 second-round selection (39th).[source 1] After a number of subsequent trades over the next two drafts, St. Louis ended up turning this single pick into the following players: OT Greg Robinson, LB Alec Ogletree, WR Stedman Bailey, RBs Zac Stacy and Isaiah Pead, DT Michael Brockers, CB Janoris Jenkins and G Rokevious Watkins
