Mark Sanchez Reportedly Agrees to Contract with Redskins After Alex Smith Injury

Mark Sanchez reportedly agreed to a deal with the Washington Redskins on Monday to provide them with quarterback depth after Alex Smith's gruesome leg injury.

Per Field Yates of ESPN, Sanchez will serve as Washington's backup behind Colt McCoy against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Smith, Washington's new franchise quarterback, fractured two bones in his leg Sunday in a loss to the Houston Texans, leaving McCoy as the team's only viable option prior to the deal.

Since leaving the New York Jets, where he started 62 games from 2009-12, Sanchez has bounced around the NFL.
