Oh my word... add another QB to the list.
The Cleveland Browns appear to have found one piece to their quarterback puzzle, announcing they have signed Robert Griffin III on Thursday.
Griffin, who made the decision after meeting with Browns coach Hue Jackson and associate head coach Pep Hamilton, is guaranteed $6.75 million and can make up to $11 million with incentives in 2016 as part of the two-year, $15 million deal.
Griffin received a $3.5 signing bonus and a fully guaranteed base salary of $3.25 million this season. He can make another $750,000 in per-game roster bonuses and $3.5 million in individual performance incentives for playtime, passing yards and passer rating.
"This isn't about me, to be honest with you. I just want to go out and help this team win football games," Griffin said when asked during a conference call how important it was for him to get his career back on track. "I believe in what Coach Hue is preaching. I believe in Pep Hamilton and what they plan to do.
