Yes, new Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan exercised the club’s fifth-year option on RGIII that will pay him around $16 million in 2016. But it’s just as likely that the Skins will part ways with the talented yet embattled QB if he has a bad season this year.If that happens, where would Griffin end up? In a piece based purely on hypotheticals, Grantland’s Robert Mays offered up the Houston Texans as a possible landing spot."
