RG3 returns: Griffin agrees to deal with Ravens

And he won’t be far — geographically, at least — from the Washington Redskins.

Griffin agreed to a one-year deal Wednesday with the Baltimore Ravens after he spent the entire 2017 season on the sidelines. The former Redskins starter will compete for the Ravens‘ backup role, as Joe Flacco is entrenched as the starter.

But Baltimore is an opportunity for Griffin to get back in the league. Griffin made more noise off the field in 2017, trading barbs with receiver Santana Moss and emphasizing his side of the Mike Shanahan fallout.
