The Washington Football Team was expected to add a veteran quarterback this offseason. With the team armed with the 19th pick in the draft and no guarantee that one of the top five passers in the class would be available, they needed to have some sort of stopgap available to compete with Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinicke.

Now, they have exactly that.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Washington Football Team reached a deal with Ryan Fitzpatrick. The 39-year-old will make up to $12 million on a one-year contract.
