This news came out before the Redskins take on the Philadelphia Eagles. The two teams play at FedExField in Landover, Maryland.
“Once the regular season started, we really were aiming toward the bye week, and it came together,” Redskins general manager Bruce Allen said. “I think Coach and myself said that Donovan’s going to be here from the beginning, and Donovan has been real clear in his intent of being a Redskin. So I think it just puts an exclamation point on it.”
The Redskins are 4-4 on the season. This season, he has gone 159 of 277 for 1,971 yards. He had seven touchdown passes and eight interceptions.
