The Washington Redskins have released veteran quarterback John Beck, Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network reports.
Beck became expendable when the Redskins used a fourth round pick, the 102nd pick overall, on Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will complete with Rex Grossman for the backup job behind Robert Griffin III.
Beck, 30, started three games for the Redskins in 2011, completing 80-of-132 pass attempts for 858 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions before he was replaced by Grossman in the huddle. Beck was scheduled to earn a $1 million base salary with a $350,000 roster bonus in 2012, the final year of his two-year, $3.518 million contract extension from 2010.
