Backup QB Odds: Handicapping the passers Washington could sign in free agency

The Redskins will definitely sign a QB in free agency and give him a chance to compete for the top spot, but who will they choose to sign?

Chase Daniel — Chicago Bears (+300)

The Bears have an interesting situation at the QB spot; they are less-than-thrilled with their starter, who was drafted way too early in 2017, and they’re rumored to be looking for a big name in the free agency market this season. No matter what happens, Chase Daniel likely isn’t part of the equation.

However, Daniel is seen as one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league, and he’s proven to be pretty effective when called upon. In three games during 2019, Daniel completed 45 of 64 passes for 435 yards and three touchdowns.

While he’s spent most of his career as a backup, Daniel has been paid handsomely for his services, which might put him a bit out of the Redskins price range. In 2019, he was paid $5 million in Chicago, and he’s likely to receive another lucrative QB2 deal due to his ability to keep a team afloat when something goes wrong in the starting lineup.

With (+300) odds, if you wagered $100, you would win $300 in profit.
