Report: Josh Johnson Turns Down Ravens Contract After Robert Griffin III Injury

Veteran quarterback Josh Johnson was offered a contract with the Baltimore Ravens Monday but turned it down in hopes of a better opportunity, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The 33-year-old was brought in for a workout with the team after backup Robert Griffin III went down with a hand injury, but Griffin is expected to return before the season begins.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Sunday the quarterback is expected to "miss practice for at least a few weeks," per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
