The Washington Football Team has reached an agreement to sign 38-year-old quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Per Schefter, Fitzpatrick has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with Washington that could escalate to $12 million based on incentives.

The team officially announced Fitzpatrick's signing on Thursday, Mar. 17.

Most notably, Schefter says Fitzpatrick is expected to head to training camp as the starter, with "competition from Taylor Heinicke."

In a partial starting and partial backup role to first-round pick Tua Tagovailoa for the Dolphins in 2020, Fitzpatrick led Miami to a 4-3 record with 2,091 yards on 68.5 percent passing with 13 touchdowns and eight interceptions, for a 95.6 passer rating.
