The East-West Shrine Game came and went, and the Washington Redskins, in need of a quarterback with Alex Smith sidelined, didn’t show considerable interest in the quarterbacks at the event. They didn’t meet with any, not even Brett Rypien.
The team’s initial disinterest did little to quell talks that they were looking for a new passer this offseason, however. And now, with the Senior Bowl festivities kicking off in Mobile, Alabama, we have confirmation that the Redskins are on the prowl for a young passer in the 2019 NFL Draft.
It’s still unclear what kinds of resources the Redskins are willing to spend, with Alex Smith locking down a trove of cap space, and multiple other first-round needs on the roster.
