Griffin III said Tuesday on The Rich Eisen Show that he would love to go to Chicago to serve as a mentor and backup to second-year quarterback Justin Fields.
"Going to Chicago with Justin Fields to try to help as much as I possibly can in that quarterback room would be a great situation," Griffin III said.
Griffin added that much to the dismay of Washington fans, he would also entertain playing for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. A move to Dallas would be a homecoming of sorts for Griffin III, who went to high school in Copperas Cove, Texas.

"I’ve been reached out to from a plethora of teams," Griffin III said. "Going back home to Texas with the Dallas Cowboys, I know a lot of Washington fans don’t want to hear that, but that would be a great situation for me. The Atlanta Falcons being there with [Marcus] Mariota and [Desmond] Ridder would be a great situation for me."
The 32-year-old last suited up in the NFL with the Ravens from 2018-20. He received a spot start in 2020 due to the Ravens’ COVID-19 issues, with Baltimore falling to the Steelers, 19-14.
