RG3 trying reboot in Baltimore

Colin Kaepernick is still unemployed, but Robert Griffin III is poised to résumé his NFL career about 35 miles from where he started it.

The former Redskins quarterback reached agreement on a one-year contract with the Ravens, who love the idea of having the 2011 Heisman Trophy winner backing up 10-year starter Joe Flacco. NFL Network reported Griffin’s base salary will be $1 million.

“Obviously, [Griffin’s] personality, he’s a confident guy. He’s a very talented quarterback,” coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. “He’s had a lot of success in this league early on. We’re excited about it. We felt like we needed a No. 2 quarterback.”

Griffin’s last previous stop in an injury-riddled career came in 2016 with the Browns. He started five games, winning only one of them.

“[Griffin] still lives in the D.C.-Virginia area,” Baltimore general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “We were bringing in some receivers and we asked him if he would come in and throw and go through a full workout for us. He took a physical. He did all of that. After that, he went to visit another team. We just were able to come to an agreement.”

The terms were finalized late Tuesday night, and Newsome said he expects RG3 to sign the contract next week. Josh Woodrum is the only other quarterback currently on Baltimore’s roster.

“I feel like we got a steal,” Harbaugh said. “I felt like [Griffin] really wanted to be here. He really wanted to be a Raven.”

Griffin won the Heisman Trophy at Baylor before being selected second overall in the 2012 draft by the Redskins. He enjoyed a sensational rookie season, throwing 20 touchdown passes and just five interceptions, but his career took a decisive downturn after he tore knee ligaments in a playoff loss to the Seahawks.
