Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was not among the core players listed by the franchise in a letter to season ticket-holders.

Griffin, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, did not secure the starting job last season because of injuries and inconsistent play. Late in the season, first-year coach Jay Gruden turned to journeyman Colt McCoy over Griffin.

It would have been the second consecutive year the face of the franchise finished the season holding a clipboard, but McCoy suffered a neck injury and Griffin reclaimed the No. 1 job.

His hold on that spot appears tenuous based on the letter to fans that outlines the team’s nucleus, but makes no mention of Griffin.

“The Washington Redskins thank you for your continued loyalty and support. Redskins fans are the best in the NFL and we greatly appreciate your dedication over the years,” the letter reads, per the Washington Post. “Head coach Jay Gruden, new general manager Scot McCloughan, and defensive doordinator Joe Barry will lead a nucleus of Ryan Kerrigan, DeSean Jackson, plus Pro Bowlers Trent Williams and Alfred Morris. The Redskins are poised to rebound next season.”

Griffin and the Redskins could be at a crossroads as early as next month, when Washington could choose to pass on his 2016 option.

Griffin said last week he was excited by the team’s hiring of Matt Cavanaugh as quarterbacks coach. Besides being healthy, blocking out negatives is a priority for the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

“If you ride those emotional roller coasters based on what people say, it can really affect you and how you play all the time,” he told the team’s website. “So for me, the way I put it is I’m a Washington Redskin until they tell me I’m not. And that’s all I can focus on – that’s all I’m gonna to focus on.

“I know the city wants us to win just like we did in 2012, and we want that, too, and we’re going to go to work to make sure that happens. We just have to put the work in and not really talk about it.”
