Former Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett is planning to sign with the Commanders, ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported Wednesday.
Brissett is planning to sign a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with Washington, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. He will earn $8 million guaranteed.
The Commanders were in need of a new starting quarterback after they released Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke was picked up by the Falcons. Washington was left with second-year quarterback Sam Howell, who appeared in one game last season, and Jake Fromm, who didn’t play in any games last season.
