The Baltimore Ravens have brought RG3 back into the league with a one-year deal announced via the team Twitter. Robert Griffin III has been looking for a new contract and finally got his chance. He seemed happy about it tweeting this after the deal was announced.

Griffin had been out of the league for a year after playing five games for the Browns in 2016, giving them their only win in the last two seasons. While RG3 didn’t play up to his old self he put up decent numbers over that stretch completing 59.2% of his passes for 886 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in 2016. He also rushed 31 times for 190 yards and two scores.
He was released that year and without a contract until today when the Ravens announced the deal. Robert isn’t expected to challenge for the starting spot but this gives Flacco an experienced back up for 2018.
Coach Harbaugh seemed excited about the signing when he talked about it during his press conference earlier below.
“I felt like he really wanted to be here, to be a Raven.”
