Devine signs with Redskins

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Washington Redskins have signed former Marshall University quarterback Derek Devine and first-year safety Patrick Ghee, the team reported on Redskins.com Tuesday.

The Redskins also released four undrafted rookies who participated in mini-camp on May 2-4: defensive end Alonzo Dotson, safety Kevin Mitchell, quarterback Bret Meyer and safety Justin Scott.

Devine, who joined Marshall as a junior college transfer, and Ghee are both former Seattle Seahawks, so they should have some familiarity with practices under Jim Zorn, a former Seattle quarterbacks coach and new coach of the Redskins.

Devine, 6-foot-3 and 222 pounds, entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent with the Seahawks in 2007. He was released by the club prior to the start of the regular season.

At Marshall, Devine was the No. 3 quarterback as a junior and senior. He threw just eight passes in two years at Marshall, but he was able to impress NFL scouts with his strong arm.

Going into training camp, Devine will be one of five quarterbacks on Washington's roster. The others are Jason Campbell, Todd Collins, Colt Brennan, Hawaii standout taken in the 2008 NFL Draft, and Sam Hollenbach.
