RG3 is a Baltimore Raven

Buzz - RG3 is a Baltimore Raven

4/5/2018

Because why have tons of often injured players when you can have one more?

The Baltimore Ravens signed Robert Griffin III for some reason on Wednesday, giving him a one-year deal worth about a million bucks with a small signing bonus. He'll replace former backup quarterback Ryan Mallett, who is currently a free agent. Now, plenty of people are up in arms about this, but he's not going to play anyway unless Joe Flacco's head falls off or something equally as tragic, so we can all relax a little.

There are no guarantees that RG3 will make the team - Baltimore can still draft a quarterback, Josh Woodrum can win the job in camp, or RG3's body will just disintegrate. The part of this that bothers me the most is this:

Harbaugh on RGIII: "This move makes us better."

Better at what? Giving the team doctors and trainers more subjects to work on and therefore job stability? That's the only thing I can think of. I am looking forward to inspirational tweets about rising and grinding and not-at-all-staged photos of him and Greta down by the harbor or at the aquarium, however. You know the first place they're gonna visit will be the aquarium.

The moment when Breshad Perriman catches a pass from RG3 in preseason is the moment my life will flash before my eyes and I start speaking in another language or something.

buzz-worthy-

“If Cleveland did any of their homework they would have known I wasn’t a guy who came in every day and watched film. I wasn’t a guy who really knew the X’s and O’s of football.” - Johnny Manziel
Former Jaguars and Ravens offensive lineman Luke Bowanko signed with the New England Patriots. Solid player and has basically played every position on OL, so unfortunately the Patriots got a solid depth player.
Former Eagles punter Donnie Jones wants to keep playing. Jones claimed to be retiring after 15 years following the Super Bowl win, but decided he wants to continue. Philly released him from their reserve list, which was nice of them I guess.
Matt Cassel will be Matthew Stafford's backup in Detroit. This guy is somehow still in the NFL and one of the finest finesse-ers of our time.
Wide receiver, but mostly special-teamer Michael Campanaro is visiting the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Someone needs to keep Marcus Mariota company on IR. I didn't say that. You did.
The Cleveland Browns are visiting with Lamar Jackson for a pre-draft visit sometime next week. The Browns are shockingly in the market for a quarterback and have set up visits with all the "top guys," trying to figure out who their next victim will be.
"It’s more about his ability as a player, and what was demonstrated last season, and what we feel like he can do for us in the upcoming season.” - Saints GM Mickey Loomis on the signing of TE Ben Watson.
A school shooting threat was made in the comments of Julian Edelman's Instagram account. Long story short, the police were notified, the kid was arrested, Edelman stopped a shooting (haven't seen Brady do that btw).
The Philadelphia Eagles are increasing season ticket prices by about $10 per ticket. Really letting that Super Bowl win get to their heads.
So the rumored "new jerseys" for the Tennessee Titans (I wrote about how ugly they were yesterday) are indeed the new uniforms for the Titans in 2018.
