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?

Brett Hundley — Arizona Cardinals (+350)

The Cardinals have seemingly found their franchise quarterback in Kyler Murray, so it’s unlikely that Hundley will be able to compete for a starting spot any time soon in his current situation. While the Cardinals may wish to keep a veteran backup in the lockerroom for emergency’s sake, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Hundley test the open market to try and find a better path to the starting spot.

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.

In Arizona, Hundley served as a valued member of the QB room behind 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.

With (+350) odds, if you wagered $100, you would win $350 in profit.
