Robert Griffin III is no longer a backup to Lamar Jackson … the Baltimore Ravens waived the former Heisman Trophy winner following their loss to the Bills this weekend.
The team made the announcement Monday … cutting ties with RGIII after he had been on the roster for the past three seasons.
Griffin III never quite had a huge impact in Baltimore, he only played in 14 games, and threw for just 288 yards in those contests.

But, the fact that Griffin III was able to secure a spot on the team for so long says a lot about the 30-year-old … remember, he was out of football for the entire 2017 season and some wondered if he’d ever get another shot after that.
RGIII was set to be a free agent this offseason before the Ravens’ announcement Monday … but the move could allow him to now find a new home sooner.
The quarterback reflected on the season before roster move was made official Monday … writing on his social media page, “As year 8 comes to a close, I just want to say thank you to my teammates, the fans, & @Ravens organization.”
“This season was a trying one with a lot of adversity & there were no better people for the job. Honored to be a part of the brotherhood with yal. The best is yet to come.”
