Check out these cutups ... and cross Robert Griffin III off your list as a viable starting quarterback prospect.

For a third-year NFL quarterback, it's almost pathetic.

If Washington can't move him, they'll likely release him. They've already strategically kept his name off literature promoting the 2015 season.

Don't see how RGIII can fit in except as a backup helping short-term when a starter goes down.

If, of course, Griffin can stay healthy. He's not played a full NFL season.

Pat Shurmur interviewed Friday for the head coaching job of the Oakland Raiders.

Shurmur, 49, has a history with Reggie McKenzie, the general manager of the Raiders. McKenzie worked with the late Fritz Shurmur, the uncle of Pat Shurmur, with the Green Bay Packers.

Shurmur guided the Cleveland Browns to 4-12 and 5-11 seasons in 2011-12. He filled a variety of roles on the staff of Andy Reid from 1999-2008.

Shurmur was offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams in 2009-10. The Rams went 8-24 in those years with Steve Spagnuolo as head coach.

The Raiders were 3-13 last season.

Jack Del Rio, among others, is slated to interview for the head coaching job.

You can't blame Bradley Fletcher if the Eagles lose to the Giants.

Almost ready for kickoff at MetLife Stadium.

The embattled cornerback was scratched Sunday, his spot in the starting lineup taken by Nolan Carroll II. Carroll replaced Fletcher last week, the third straight game in which he was torched.

The Eagles also deactivated quarterback Nick Foles, safety Jerome Couplin, center Julian Vandervelde, offensive lineman Dennis Kelly, wide receiver Jeff Maehl and defensive end Taylor Hart. Hart, a fifth-round pick out of Oregon, has been inactive for every game.

This is what the Eagles (9-5) must do to reach the playoffs for the second straight year under Kelly:

To play again here this season, Eagles must win out and get a loss from the Cowboys.

To be the No. 3 seed: Beat Washington and the New York Giants (5-7) while the Cowboys (10-4) lose to either the Colts (10-4) or Washington. If the teams finish with the same amount of wins, the Eagles win the tiebreaker with a better division mark. 


To be a wild card: Beat Washington and the Giants while the Seahawks lose to the Arizona Cardinals (11-3) and the St. Louis Rams (6-8); or the Green Bay Packers (10-4) lose to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-12) and the Detroit Lions (10-4); or the Lions lose to the Chicago Bears (5-8) and the Packers.
