4 backup quarterbacks the Redskins should target in 2020 NFL free agency

The Redskins will likely choose to keep Dwayne Haskins in the starting QB role for 2020, but they have a hole to fill at the QB2 spot.

The Redskins are familiar with Sudfeld, as they waived him a couple of years ago just a year removed from drafting him with their sixth-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Sudfeld was a part of the 2017 Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles team, and he took over for the team in their Week 17 bout with the Dallas Cowboys — a 6-0 defeat — while then starter Nick Foles rested up for the playoffs. Sudfeld played well in the game despite having no numbers to show for it.

While there are definitely more talented options that the Redskins could choose to go with, their previous knowledge of Sudfeld might aid in the scouting process. They watched him play in the preseason for them in 2016, and they may feel comfortable bringing him back in on a cheap contract.
