Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins ended their contract impasse Wednesday when the rookie quarterback signed a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $21.1 million. It also includes a club option for a fifth year. ...
Washington made the big move after finishing last in the NFC East for a fourth straight year with a 5-11 record in 2011. That was the 16th season in the past 19 in which the Redskins didn't make the playoffs. During that span, they have started 21 quarterbacks. The most recent, Rex Grossman, committed 25 turnovers in 13 starts last season.
Is it any wonder I bought stock in the Green Bay Packers last year (and what better office wall art for a corporate law professor than framed stock certificates)? But in my heart of hearts I can't help hoping RGIII is finally the answer in DC. Unfortunately, my head tells me the real answer is getting a new owner.
