Browns following same old path by signing Robert Griffin III

The more one ponders the Cleveland Browns' addition of Robert Griffin III, the more it doesn't sit right.

Yes, arguments can be made that it's a low-risk, one-year tryout.

Griffin's contract is structured so that he can be paid $6.75 million this season, then released with little salary cap implication.

In that regard, it's a one-year test to see what the Browns can get from him. He plays well, both sides win. He doesn't, it's on to the next guy.

But more reflection on the signing leads to one thought: The Browns keep giving their fans the same old package, just wrapped by a different person with a different bow.
