Washington made clear it would part ways with Griffin by Wednesday to get his 2016 contract off the books before it became guaranteed for about $16 million.
So it was just a matter of when a move would come, and there were various media reports the team would be releasing toay.
As soon as he is cut, Griffin becomes a free agent and can sign anywhere.
