RG3 'wouldn't be bummed' if Redskins don't pick up option

The Washington Redskins are one of several teams who have been linked to former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota this offseason, which says a lot about where Robert Griffin III currently stands. Whether the Redskins draft a quarterback or not, it’s fair to wonder if 2015 will be Griffin’s last season with the team.

The Redskins have until May 3 to decide if they want to exercise RG3’s option for the 2016 season, which is worth around $16 million. In a lengthy conversation with Jeff Darlington of NFL Media, Griffin said he will not be upset if he has to play for a new contract in 2015.
