Filed under: Redskins, NFC EastThe Washington Redskins must really believe in QB Colt Brennan because they just signed him to a 4-year deal worth around $1.8 million. Brennan will join Todd Collins and Derek Divine in backing up Jason Campbell.the good news for Brennan and the team is the positive medical report he received. Last week, Brennan was cleared to practice and participate in camp, where he has a very good chance of becoming the No. 3 quarterback on the roster behind Jason Campbell and Todd Collins.

The former Hawaii quarterback had minor hip surgery to repair the labrum on April 8. Though some thought he might have to start camp on the physically unable to perform list, Brennan made a quick recovery. Through weight lifting, he is 220 pounds.
Brennan has a pretty good shot at becoming the Skins’ #3 quarterback. Campbell is the starter with Collins as a very steady backup. His main competition is Devine, who was signed by the team this past May.

The scary thing is that he has been assigned the #5 (he wore the #15 in college … which is Collins’ number). All Redskins fans remember that Heath Shuler wore that number when he was a first round pick in 1994. Shuler was a bust, starting just 18 games in his three-year career in D.C.
