LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have signed unrestricted free agent wide receiver Brian Quick. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

I am surprised that McVay didn't give Quick one final shot in 2017 as a first year head coach.

But perhaps a change of scenery was best for him and the team.
