The Facts: HC Hue Jackson essentially stuck to legalese when speaking about Griffin The team owes Griffin a $750,000 roster bonus in less than two weeks, and may or may not be including him in their future plans. Jackson opted to state the obvious on Thursday morning. "Obviously, Robert is on our roster right now," he said. "I think there's some things he did well, some things he needs to improve at and we're going to keep working with him until we don't. He's one of the three quarterbacks on our team right now and I'm very fortunate we have some guys under contract right now to work with. But we have to continue to get him better as he moves forward."
Diehards Line:
As previously noted, the day before, executive VP Sashi Brown said he could envision a scenario where the team heads into the season with Griffin, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan as their quarterbacks. Jackson echoed those sentiments, but did hint toward a possible shakeup to come. "I think we have to feel that way because that could potentially happen," Jackson said. "It depends on how this all unfolds. But I know we're doing anything and everything we can to improve that position. ..." As NFL.com suggests, reading the tea leaves, it's hard not to imagine Jackson standing on a table to get his way and get a new quarterback. While Brown is typically more reserved and measured in his comments, Jackson seems to be itching for the chance to see this year's prospects again.
