The Washington Commanders signed veteran journeyman quarterback Jeff Driskel on Monday, adding depth at the position behind fellow veteran Marcus Mariota.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jeff Driskel warms up before an NFL football game against the Cleveland Browns, Sunday, Dec. 23, 2018, in Cleveland .
Driskel, 30, played with the Bengals from 2016-18, and is another player with whom new general manager Adam Peters is plenty familiar. Peters was VP of player personnel with the San Francisco 49ers when they selected Driskel in the sixth round in 2016. After the trade of 2023 starter Sam Howell to Seattle, Driskel, Mariota and practice squad holdover Jake Fromm are now the quarterbacks on the roster, with Washington’s offseason workout program starting this week.
The Louisiana Tech/Florida product has thrown for 2,394 yards, 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions since making his league debut in relief of Andy Dalton in a Bengals blowout loss to Kansas City on Oct. 21, 2018.
