The Washington Football Team announced they signed quarterback Taylor Heinicke to contract extension on Wednesday.
Heinicke's deal is worth $8.75 million over the next two seasons, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Heinicke, 27, logged one regular-season appearance for Washington in 2020 before starting the team's Wild Card loss to the Buccaneers in January. Heinicke impressed against Tampa despite the defeat, throwing for 306 yards and a touchdown. He also added 46 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
"It's a good feeling," Heinicke said in a statement on Wednesday. "This is the place I wanted to be, so everything came together pretty smoothly, and I'm really excited to be back.
