Redskins acquire QB Beck from Ravens
The Washington Redskins have acquired quarterback John Beck from the Baltimore Ravens for cornerback Doug Dutch.
The Redskins also released quarterback Colt Brennan on Monday.
Beck was a backup with the Ravens last year and previously played two seasons with Miami. He was a second-round pick by the Dolphins from BYU in 2007. His only NFL action came as a rookie, when he started four games.
Beck will compete with Rex Grossman and Richard Bartel for a roster spot with the Redskins, who have Donovan McNabb as their starter.
Brennan was a sixth-round pick in 2008 but never played for Washington. He sat out last year after having hip surgery.
Dutch was undrafted out of Michigan a year ago and spent time on the Redskins' practice squad. The Ravens need depth at the position after they placed cornerback Domonique Foxworth on injured reserve with a right knee injury.
