On Monday morning Ravens beat writer Aaron Wilson passed along a rumor that the Ravens were going to trade QB John Beck. With Troy Smith and Marc Bulger backing up Joe Flacco, there wasn't a significant need for a fourth quarterback.
Ravens Trade John Beck To The Redskins
Within an hour of Wilson's posting, news broke that the Ravens had traded him to the Redskins.
The compensation isn’t known at this time.
The move comes as a surprise because over the weekend Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan had noted that he generally carries only two quarterbacks into the regular season.
Shanahan noted that for most of his career, he's only carried two quarterbacks in the regular season, which surely isn't a good news for Colt Brennan. Or Richard Bartel. Or maybe even Rex Grossman.
Now the Redskins have someone to take the attention off of Albert Haynesworth for a few hours.
