The Washington Redskins made a huge decision this offseason that forever changed the shape of their franchise. After four years with the organization, the team decided to let former No. 2 overall pick Robert Griffin III leave in free agency. The team did not trade him and they did not try to keep him. Griffin had simply fizzled out, and it looked like Kirk Cousins was the future for the team.
Still, people around the NFL still saw a lot of potential in Griffin. After all, the former Heisman winner had a stellar rookie year in Washington before a torn ACL in the playoffs limited his skill set.
