RGIII will remain with the Redskins as a backup

The Washington Redskins plan to keep Robert Griffin III as their backup quarterback and will not release him ahead of Saturday's roster deadline, multiple sources have confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter and John Keim.

Although Kirk Cousins was named Washington's starting quarterback earlier this week, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and president Bruce Allen want to keep Griffin despite the financial risk associated with retaining the former Heisman Trophy winner, a source told ESPN.

Griffin, who has been sidelined since Aug. 20 with a concussion, was scheduled to consult with an independent neurologist Friday. The Redskins still are awaiting word on the results of that exam.

I have given up on all sports , nothing but a bunch of BS that gives overpaid men and woman a job. It makes me sick to see people make millions a year to go out and play games , is that productive or what?

They'd be better of just forfeiting before rg3 comes out.

The Redskins name change and Deflategate dominated the news because it was crammed down our throats and unavoidable.
