Robert Griffin III passed his exit physical, which will lead to Washington releasing him by March 9th. Griffin's $16.155 million option becomes fully guaranteed on March 9th.

Griffin lost his job as quarterback to Kirk Cousins.

"The thing that's good about where we are right now is, we have until March 9," McCloughan said, per The Washington Post. "That's why I want to sit with the coaches -- and not just the coordinators, position coaches; everybody -- and get a feel for it, because (Griffin) is a good football player, he's a really good person, and he's under contract. And that's where we are right now."

Washington intends to sign Cousins to a long-term deal.
