There seems to be a massive change happening for NFL coverage at ESPN as The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand is reporting that former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Robert Griffin III has been fired by the company. There has not been any reason given for the decision but he had two more years under contract.
UPDATE: Robert Griffin III posted on Twitter for the first time since the news came out with a clip from the movie “Friday” talking about getting fired on his day off.
This is a breaking news piece and will be updated as more information becomes available.
