Mark Sanchez will suit up for his sixth NFL team this week when he officially joins the Washington Redskins as a backup to Colt McCoy, who was thrust into the starting job after Alex Smith broke two bones in his leg in a gruesome injury Sunday.
The 32-year-old was one of a number of quarterbacks to try out for the Redskins on Monday, including EJ Manuel and T.J. Yates.
Sanchez joined the Eagles in 2014 after sitting out all of 2013 because of a shoulder injury and after being released by the Jets, who drafted him in 2009 out of Southern Cal.
