Mike Florio believes Robert Griffin III’s main concern should not revolve around the time he has missed, but he should be concerned about players targeting his surgically-repaired knee. Also, Ravens QB Joe Flacco has to prove he’s ready to become a leader, whether the teams desperately needs him to be that or not.

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press joins Mike Florio to talk about the active offseason in Detroit.

The Ravens visited the White House this week without Matt Birk, their starting center in the Super Bowl who has since retired.

Birk went public with the reason for his absence, saying that his abortion beliefs conflict with President Obama’s and that he “just felt like I couldn’t deal with” visiting the White House under those conditions. Birk will join Mike Florio on Friday’s edition of PFT Live to talk about his decision to skip out on one of the rites enjoyed by championship teams.

NFL analyst and former QB Shaun King joins Mike Florio to break down who is most deserving of landing on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Mt. Rushmore. While King has a bone to pick because he didn’t make it into the Top 12, he has no problem naming his Top 3, but the fourth and final honoree is a bit trickier.

When we announce the members of the Buccaneers’ Mt. Rushmore on Thursday afternoon, their former quarterback Shaun King won’t be one of the faces etched into a virtual mountain.

King isn’t one of the 12 finalists for the honor, but he certainly knows the franchise and he’ll share his thoughts about which other members of the Bucs fraternity should be the faces of the franchise when he joins Mike Florio on PFT Live. We’ll find out King’s choices and then see if they match up with the choices of PFT Planet when the results are announced with King, Florio and the rest of the Pro Football Talk on NBCSN crew at 5 p.m. ET.

Florio will also have the latest news and rumors from around the league in addition to takes on some of the bigger stories during a slow time in the football calendar.
