Former Washington Redskins quarterback and former star at the University of Hawaii Colt Brennan is in a Honolulu hospital in serious condition after a Friday car crash.

Brennan was riding in his girlfriends SUV Friday morning when the crash happened. We are assuming, since we aren't sure, that he was back in Hawaii waiting for another shot at the NFL. He was the third string quarterback for the Redskins for 2 seasons.

We hope that Brennan and the other two people injured in the crash are able to recover from their injuries.

The TV Version from KGMB-TV:

Redskins Sign QB Brennan

Finally, the mighty Colt Brennan is officially a Redskin.

According to John Clayton, Brennan signed a four-year, $1.8M contract, and was cleared to take part in Redskins camp. After the former Hawai'i QB's hip surgery, it was much speculated that he would begin the season on the PUP list. Now, he has a good chance to challenge Todd Collins for the #2 QB behind Jason Campbell.

Brennan, the third pick in the sixth round of this year's NFL Draft, is in a perfect place to develop his gunslinging skills. New 'Skin head coach Jim Zorn is a long-time QB coach, and there is no pressure to start immediately. Granted, Brennan's Rainbow Warriors got demolished by then #5 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl 41-10, so many doubt his ability against tough teams.

I'm willing to give him a chance. Remember, this is the same franchise that sold the farm to sign Heath Shuler.
