Redskins keep QB McCoy

ASHBURN, Va. - Backup quarterback Colt McCoy will resign with the Washington Redskins, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN and a source near to the team.

McCoy started four games for the Redskins last season, leading the team to a come-from-behind win against the Titans, replacing then-starter Kirk Cousins in the second half. 

He went 25-of-30 for 299 yards and rushed for a touchdown in an overtime win at Dallas in Week 8, one of the team's four victories. He finished last season with 1,057 yards passing and four touchdowns.

The quarterback position is still up in the air, however. Head coach Jay Gruden said publicly at the end of last season that Robert Griffin would be his starter, though the team does have the No. 5 overall pick in the coming NFL Draft, and rumors have been plentiful that Oregon signal caller Marcus Mariota is in the mix to be selected to the nation's capitol.
