The Redskins chose to lay off Griffin

On Wednesday morning, US local time, the Baltimore Ravens officially announced that the team had signed a one-year contract with former Redskins and Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III. Griffin's addition will also give the Ravens quarterback Joe Flacko an experienced backup player.

Last week, Griffin and several free agents in the free agent market participated in the trial of the Ravens. His training performance left a deep impression on Baltimore's management. Shortly after Griffin went to another team for training, the Ravens reached a contract with the former Heisman winner (American College Football League's Most Outstanding Player of the Year Award) on Tuesday evening NFL Coins.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Raven head coach John Hubble told the media: "Look at the veteran quarterbacks in the league who are at home, and look at our team's current situation. I really do. I'm very excited about this player (Griffin). I feel that the deal made a big fortune. I really think so."

As the second pick in the first round of the 2012 draft, Griffin III was trained by the Washington Redskins as the team's quarterback. In the 2012-13 season, Griffin took home the professional bowl and the best rookie team in the United States. However, injuries have changed Griffin's career.

In 2016, the Redskins chose to lay off Griffin, and the Browns sent him to Cleveland on a two-year contract. Unfortunately, because of injury, Griffin played only five games for the Browns.

Since the 2016-17 season, Griffin has never appeared in any of the official games.
