Robert Griffin III will have his opportunity to resurrect his career. And the market is growing for the soon-to-be former Washington Redskins quarterback.

According to NFL analyst, Mike Freeman that market is a minimum of ten teams.

“Despite all that we know about Robert Griffin III, according to interviews with a half-dozen front-office talent evaluators, he remains the most intriguing figure in the free-agent sweepstakes that begin this month,” said Freeman. “There are at least 10 teams giving Griffin a hard look, these sources say.

“Maybe 15. Maybe more.”

The reality is, despite the injuries that derailed the former Heisman Trophy winner spectacular rookie debut, he’s just 26-years old. Twenty-six!

That’s a big selling point in NFL front offices according to Freeman. Those teams are lining up and reportedly, things may be getting a little under-handed to secure the services of the former Baylor star.

“What I can tell you also is that some teams are privately accusing others of tampering with Griffin,” said Freeman. “This is my shocked face. Tampering is to football what logic is to Vulcans.

“The team officials interviewed believe the most likely landing spot for Griffin is Los Angeles, Cleveland or Houston. Though, to be truthful, no one really knows. It's all guesswork. http://was.247sports.com/Bolt/Market-growing-for-Robert-Griffin-III-44078468

I also believe the following year he was not completely ready to go and the Redskins were a horrible team in a horrible situation on top of it. He's healthy now and I've seen a new level of maturity from him since the debacle 2 years ago. He could be the backup and future answer to address our current situation. Mr. B won't agree with us though.

Haha! Yup, you are correct! I have zero interest in RGIII. I'm very mature too but that doesn't mean I can read defenses. Shanahan himself said that RGIII cannot read defenses. He's a 1 read QB. All of his success was built on being able to make 1 read and if his guy wasn't open he'd take off running. Now that his knee is shot half of his game is gone. He's still just a 1 read guy, only now he can't run. I would honestly prefer Nick Foles or Colt McCoy over RGIII. With that said, who else saw this pic?

We seem to be looking at the future and Tony Romo possibly won't be around much longer but RG3's not the successor that we need.

As far as Hoyer BJJ... no thanks. Hell - I'd rather have Weeden back.

Prior to his stint in Houston I actually though Hoyer would be a good fit as Tony's backup. After his playoff performance though it would be hard to convince anyone that signing him here would be a good idea.

On the other hand Houston sure has had a way of ruining QB's. They're like the Cleveland of the South.
