Robert Griffin III<\/strong><\/a> is unemployed — the former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback has reportedly been scrapped from his gig with ESPN … despite a few years remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The news broke via The Athletic<\/strong><\/a> on Thursday … with no reason being given for the move.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

It’s quite the shocking development, as RG3 blossomed into a staple with the network — his analysis was mostly applauded on “Monday Night Countdown” and throughout his college football coverage.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

RG3 also called games for ESPN … and made appearances on “Get Up” and “First Take.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 2012 second-overall pick has yet to address the decision … but chances are we’ll hear from him soon, as he’s very active on social media.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The switch comes after reports he lost his spot on the “Monday Night Football” desk to future Hall of Famer Jason Kelce<\/strong>, who joined the team upon his retirement.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The time in unemployment will almost certainly be short-lived … as other outlets will rush to add RG3 to their rotations.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The 34-year-old — a star out of Baylor — played for Washington, Cleveland and Baltimore before transitioning to television … and it’s safe to say he’ll be back in no time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
