The Ravens free agency frenzy will soon kick off and cap space is at a premium. With players such as Matthew Judon, Michael Pierce, and Jimmy Smith all looking for new deals, the Ravens need to use a variety of methods to create cap room.
Griffin III, 30, has served as a valuable backup to Lamar Jackson, providing guidance and leadership for the reigning league MVP.
Griffin III started one game in 2019, resulting in a week 17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the win, Griffin III tallied 146 total yards of offense in a game where the Ravens defense shut down the Steelers.
Although Griffin III is not the same quarterback he was in 2012, when he won Rookie of the Year, a team may look to acquire his leadership and versatility ahead of the 2020 season.
He can still be a serviceable backup in the league and if the Ravens were able to acquire a draft pick in exchange for his services, the marriage between both would have certainly paid off.
Griffin III joined the Ravens in 2018, after taking a year off from football to regain his health. Two years removed, Griffin may be involved in a trade resulting in a mid-level draft pick and a new place to extend his career.
