This week, Pete Carroll made waves when he said that the team is considering both Colin Kaepernick and RG3 as potential backups for Russell Wilson. Apparently, the team’s interest in Kaepernick is far stronger than its interest in Griffin. Kaepernick is a “potential, legitimate option” that the Seahawks are mulling while the chance of a Griffin signing is more of a “remote possibility,” according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (video link). 
A few short years ago, the idea of Griffin being a potential backup quarterback was unthinkable. Now, RGIII wishes he could get real consideration as a backup quarterback. As far as we know, no teams have really pursued him this spring and Carroll’s mention of him on Monday was the first time we’ve really heard his name from an NFL official this offseason.
Last year was supposed to be a fresh start for Griffin, but a major shoulder injury suffered in Week 1 of the 2016 season derailed everything. When the Browns activated him from IR later in the year, he still couldn’t recapture the magic of his 2012 rookie campaign. Griffin did help the Browns to their lone win last season, but he did very little to boost his own market heading into free agency.
RG3 completed 87 of 147 passes (59.2% completion rate) and threw for 886 yards with two scores against three interceptions last year. If he had enough snaps to qualify for Pro Football Focus’ rankings at QB, his overall score would have placed him among the worst at the position.
Seattle is a left wing city so his nonsense will prolly be tolerated a bit more. Im sure the owner will have a tight leash on his actions.
More left than San Francisco? And nothing says nonsense like the free speech
And nothing says patriot like promoting Cuba, denouncing the US as a bunch of racists and kneeling for our national anthem. What a great American. Maybe he needs to take up Futbol and go play for Presidente Maduro in Venezuela. What a tool.
As an American he has the right to do everything you described. That’s the beauty of being a “free” nation. If you want to go back to the 1800’s get a time machine.
Nobody is denying his free speech. He’s welcome to display what an idiot he is for all to see. The beautiful thing is that it’s hard to tell if he can’t find a job because he’s an ignorant fool and embarrassment, or simply because he’s a horrible QB. He’s a perfect combination of the two.
I believe hes gotta be somewhat talented or he would have never been in the NFL. I also believe his actions are what will cost him his NFL career.
In his own free time ,yes. When hes being paid millions to play football, NO.
By taking a knee, he was basically standing up for all of Tue minorities in this country. That’s actually quite patriotic. What do I know though? I’m just a middle aged white man who happens to be an Air Force veteran. Oh well.
Thank you for you service. I agree he was kneeling for his beliefs and since his boss didnt tell him to stop, hes now paying the price.. the whole situation is bad. What does being a middle aged white man have to do with anything?
It’s disappointing to hear a veteran validating behavior that desecrates our national anthem and flag. A lot of people fought and died to preserve the freedom and opportunity those things represent. There are many respectful ways to express a political view. Especially this guy’s ignorant views. The way he chose to do this was an insult to all Americans, veterans in particular. Hope he fades from the public consciousness as soon as humanly possible.
until you don’t like what is said…. then people whine about free speech cause they don’t agree with it. Ever heard of Steve Clevenger?
Your Prius is done charging
Paul Allen rarely gets involved in personnel matters.
If they choose to sign either they can get them for a song and a dance salary wise since their market is colder then a grave diggers behind in the Klondike
RGIII is done… He had his final chance in Cleveland. Can’t stay on the field and was ineffective. I felt bad for redskin fans after his pick and what it cost.
