Redskins sign Grossman

The Washington Redskins have signed quarterback Rex Grossman to a one-year contract.

The deal means that Grossman will be reunited with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, who spent time with Grossman last year with the Houston Texans.

Grossman has been much-maligned for most of his career despite the fact that he did help take the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl.

There has never been a question about Grossman’s physical tools, but he has shown time and time again that he lacks the intangibles to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

He comes in as a potential backup quarterback to starter Jason Campbell after the team let veteran Todd Collins go at the end of the season.

Head coach Mike Shanahan said that the team wants to promote competition, and Grossman has showed throughout his career that he can be a viable option at quarterback.

Redskins slap Campbell with first-round tender

The Washington Redskins have given quarterback Jason Campbell a first-round tender offer.

There has been much speculation this offseason whether or not Campbell would be back with the team next year.

It is now almost guaranteed he will return, as it’s hard to imagine someone giving up a first-round pick for his services.

It remains to be seen whether or not Campbell will remain the starter despite his likely return to Washington.

The Redskins are expected to draft a young quarterback, possibly with their early first-round selection.
