Though of course with his injury history you could make the case that it's a roll of the dice anyway.

Still, the only way the Redskins screw themselves is if he gets injured. Otherwise this commits us to nothing.

Given his physical tools you can make the case that the very limited downside risk is worth it.

This is exactly why Griffin says he wouldn't be bummed if we don't pick up the option. He knows he has to earn his way into the $16M anyway.
