NFL Rumors: Robert Griffin III, Colts, Cowboys, Steelers & Vikings

Robert Griffin III

• Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, citing a league source, reports that the market for free agent quarterback like Robert Griffin III is being held up until the situation involving 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick is resolved.
• Florio mentions that until Kaepernick is traded or no longer on the trade block, Griffin’s market won’t fully develop.
• The Broncos, 49ers, and Rams have all come up as potential options for RGIII, but the Broncos are in talks for Kaepernick and have reportedly been doing background work on Ryan Fitzpatrick.
• According to Florio, the Rams haven’t show much interest in him up to this point, which could leave the 49ers as his best option. However, this obvious hinges upon the 49ers moving on from Kaepernick.
