The Washington Redskins, seeking a backup for quarterback Jay Schroeder, traded for the rights to USFL free agent Doug Williams, General Manager Bobby Beathard said.
Williams said on Sunday he had reached a tentative contract agreement with the Redskins after exercising a buyout clause in his USFL contract with the Arizona Outlaws.
Washington traded an undisclosed 1987 draft choice to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, who owned Williams rights. Other signings from the USFL included former Jacksonville Bulls tight end Chuck McCurley.
