Robert Griffin III Rejected Ravens, Cardinals Offers; Hasn't Given Up on 2017

Free-agent quarterback Robert Griffin III said Wednesday that he turned down a pair of NFL contract offers this season.

Appearing on ESPN's SC6 (h/t Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith), RG3 said the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens each made him offers.

Griffin said he rejected the Cards since they had too many quarterbacks and he didn't believe he would get adequate practice time in a fourth-string role.

He also said the Ravens offered him a deal prior to their preseason opener against the Washington Redskins and wanted him to start the game, but he didn't think he would have enough preparation time.
