Once the Washington Redskins picked up the fifth year option on quarterback Robert Griffin III, it became clear that in order for Griffin to become the recipient of a $16 million pay-day he would need to have a good performance in the 2015 season.
RGIII will be the first quarterback to take snaps with the first unit and according to Redskins GM Scot McCloughan, and although there will be a quarterback competition the starting quarterback job is Griffin’s to lose.
