The Washington Redskins seemingly have a question at the quarterback position that they need to answer during the 2020 offseason.
That doesn’t mean that they are unsure of who their starting QB may be — it seems safe to say that the Redskins will likely stick with rookie QB Dwayne Haskins going forward, even though new coach Ron Rivera stopped shy of naming him the QB1 when introduced to the team. Rather, the team needs to figure out what to do at the backup QB position.
With Case Keenum and Colt McCoy both set to become free agents once their contracts run out this spring, Washington will be left with a few options to fill the position. While it’s still a possibility — and probably the smartest course of action — that the Redskins sign either veteran QB to a cheap contract for the 2020 season and beyond, it feels likely that the two QBs who rode the pine in Washington would rather test their chances elsewhere.
That leaves free agency or the NFL Drat to find a QB2. With that being said, here are a few names to potentially keep an eye out to be added to the QB room in Washington.
Brett Hundley — Arizona Cardinals
Hundley was a solid prospect coming out of UCLA in 2015, and he served as the backup for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay during the 2017 season where Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone. The results weren’t great, but that’s why he’s a backup.
Now in Arizona, Hundley has served as a valued member of the QB room behind rookie Kyler Murray, and he is said to have helped in the former Heisman-winner’s growth over the 2019 season. He also looked like a serviceable option in the single game that he played in place of Murray this past season, throwing for 49 yards with 35 more on the ground.
If the Redskins were able to convince Hundley to come to Washington, he would undoubtedly be able to help spur on the growth of Haskins, and he could also get the team out of a jam if called upon.
