With a new report from Jason La Canfora indicating that Washington won’t let Kirk Cousins hit free agency, we’re pretty certain that Robert Griffin III will not be back in Washington when the season is over. But, with the regular season drawing to a close, it’s never too early to speculate on where Griffin may end up. NFL Insider for the NFL Network, Ian Rapoport discussed potential landing spots for Griffin on NFL GameDay.
Discussed potential landing spots for RGIII when he's released on @NFLGameDay: #Eagles, #Texans, #Saints (or wherever Payton is), #Cowboys

With Sam Bradford’s return to the Eagles after the season up in the air, perhaps Griffin can find a home in Philadelphia. Take this talk from Rapoport with a grain of salt, as this is merely speculation at this point.
NFL.com has a piece up on this now from Conor Orr. Orr states the following in regards to the Eagles.
“The Eagles make perfect sense. Head coach Chip Kelly will tell anyone listening that the only way to get a top-tier quarterback outside of the draft in this league is to capitalize on an injury and move in. It’s what he did with Sam Bradford this season in an experiment that has yet to completely play out. It’s what Payton did with Brees and the Broncos did with Peyton Manning. Griffin’s movement skills would also bring a little more liveliness to Kelly’s offense. His injury history would be less concerning than Bradford’s, though not by much.”
Me personally, I want nothing to do with Griffin and his jacked up knees. It’s a disaster waiting to happen and I would hope that the Eagles would have enough sense not to sign Griffin.
What do you guys think about Griffin coming to Philadelphia? Let us know on social media.
