Also, he'll be on the air with ESPN980.com in the next 30 minutes or so

I heard earlier in the offseason that Griffin's contract will be similar to what Cam Newton got last year. Given what the Redskins gave up in order to draft Griffin, his deal could be better than Newton's.

What the Skins gave up is irrelevant as far as the slot for his salary goes.

2012 NFL Draft Signings
It has all the draft picks and their signing status. I think I posted a different article a while back that talked about the top of the third round having a sticking point in negotiations. This link seems to solidify that idea.
Round 1 unsigned - 14 (8 of top 10)
Round 2 unsigned - 3
Round 3 unsigned - 12 (also 8 of top 10)
Round 4 unsigned - 2 (1 is dallas, and 1 is NO, who obviously has a lot of issues going on)

Given that rookies report on Monday and there is little to be gained from a holdout, one would think that Gryphon and Ribeye sign very soon.

Here's a recent photo of Robert Gryphon III:


If someone made an RGIII shirt like this, I'd buy it.

I came across a pretty good analysis of which of the 9 rookies will make the roster and what their roles will be, too: http://www.redskins101.com/2012/07/1...53-man-roster/

All 12 made it last year, but that's simply not going to be the case this season.

Good breakdown but for whatever reason I think Gettis has a real shot at making the active roster, and I see Compton as the PS type. We'll see how camp goes.

Definitely a good point. I hate the "wait and see" phase that comes around this time of year...

I think LeRebius is gonna make them the FO think twice about how neccesary some the journeymen OC/OG are.

I think Keenan Robinson is gonna get some playing time.

I think Jordan Bernstine has good shot of making the squad because his physical skillset size/speed suggest that he could possible play 3 positions: SS/FS/CB.

I think Compton and Gettis make the practice squad.

I thought the main reason Griffin wasn't signed, was so he could spend more time at Redskins Park than he could as a rookie*. Any truth to that, or was it just preseason hype?

*(expects John Mara to appear in front of a camera drooling on about "spirit" of something or other, if true.....)

^That griffin might be a tad gay...Not that theres anything wrong with that!...

Any word on when RGIII will sign? I know monday rookies report. i dont understand why he hasn't yet. Salary is pretty much set right? why would he wait for Luck to sign if that is the case?
