Police called after Johnny Manziel has altercation with girlfriend

Looks like the Browns are getting RGIII!

After spending the last season in warmups, it appears Robert Griffin III's shot at redemption will begin in Cleveland. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday that Griffin is expected to sign with the Browns on a two-year deal.

Griffin was released by the Washington Redskins earlier in March and had met with the Browns and Jets this offseason. Browns head coach Hue Jackson told reporters that he came away impressed by Griffin during their meeting.

Griffin was Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2013, but tore his ACL in the postseason. He rushed back from injury the following season and played poorly in 10 games. The following season, he struggled with Jay Gruden's system and was in and out of the lineup, being replaced by Kirk Cousins, then Colt McCoy.

Griffin was healthy and slated as the starter in the 2015 preseason when he suffered a concussion. From there, Gruden, who remained critical of Griffin's play, turned to Cousins and didn't look back. Cousins had a breakout season while Griffin didn't play a regular season snap.

He was rookie of the year in 2012. Anyway, it appears that McKown is not sticking around to compete, so he may only have to win out against a rookie.
