Colt McCoy had opportunities to go elsewhere for the 2016 season, but the quarterback wanted to stay with the Washington Redskins.
Even though it appears McCoy is rooted as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Kirk Cousins, remaining in Washington was key for him after so much turmoil early in his career. He’s learned all of the ins and outs of Jay Gruden’s offense, which something he never had during his first four NFL seasons with a new offensive coordinator each year.
In March, McCoy signed a reported three-year deal with the Redskins to remain in Washington.
