He wasn’t gone long. Wide receiver Brian Quick is re-signing with the Redskins according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network (Twitter link).
The veteran wideout was released by Washington at final cuts. It appears to have been partially a procedural move to ensure that Quick, a vested veteran, wouldn’t have his full contract guaranteed at the Week 1 deadline. The team clearly had him number one on their list of players to call when an injury occurred. Two of the team’s reserve receivers suffered injuries in yesterday’s game. Quick’s contract will now only be partially guaranteed since he signed after Week 1.
Quick, who spent the first five years of his career with the Rams after being taken with the 33rd overall pick in 2012, appeared in 11 games for the Redskins last season. He caught just six passes for 76 yards. The year before that in 2016, he caught 41 balls for 564 yards and three touchdowns in Los Angeles.
The Redskins have a crowded receiving depth chart with Jamison Crowder, Josh Doctson, and Paul Richardson all firmly entrenched in their roles, so it’s unlikely Quick sees too much playing time.
Seems a lot more likely this is a result of the Redskins #5 and 6 receivers suffering high ankle sprains in week one, than a procedural move to make his salary non guaranteed.
Agreed
Damn. Cam Sims placed on IR for his ankle injury – will have surgery. I guess that’s the corresponding move… It also looks like Kenny Ladler is moving to the active roster. I hope that doesn’t mean Quinn to IR, too.
Nevermind. Josh Keyes was waived to get Ladler on the roster.
