On Tuesday, Commanders' Head Coach Ron Rivera made it clear that the team is covering all bases in the search for a new Quarterback, albeit via trade or target a prospect through the draft.
“We feel we have canvassed the league effectively,” Mayhew told reporters, via John Kein of ESPN.com. “We’ve spoken to every club that has a quarterback who might be available.”
“If you don’t have a franchise quarterback, you have to have urgency about [finding one] every year,” Mayhew said. “We were very urgent about it last year. I’m not sure that was a fair fight for Matthew [Stafford] last year, I’ll leave it there. We did everything we could to find the right guy.”
“This is a quality quarterback class this year,” Mayhew said. “As of right now, I think there may be some separation here at the Combine. We may see some of that happening. But we’re aware of what our options are as far as next year too. We are looking to address it now, if possible. And that’s where our focus is.”
Taylor Heinicke may not be thrilled about that, but he’s had his chance to become the guy Washington needs him to be. He hasn’t. So now they’ll look elsewhere. And they’ll keep looking until they find one.
