Source: Wuerffel, Spurrier to be reunited in Washington

WASHINGTON - Danny Wuerffel and Steve Spurrier are about to be reunited with the Washington Redskins. <br> <br> A source close to Wuerffel, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the journeyman quarterback was told by the Houston Texans, who took him in the expansion draft, that a trade with Washington is done. <br> <br> It&#39;s the Texans&#39; first trade. <br> <br> Wuerffel, the third-string quarterback for Chicago last season, won the 1996 Heisman Trophy playing at Florida for Spurrier, who was hired by Washington last month to replace Marty Schottenheimer. <br> <br> But Wuerfell&#39;s NFL career has been undistinguished in stints with New Orleans, Green Bay and the Bears. He led the Frankfurt Rhein Fire to the 2000 NFL Europe title. <br> <br> Last week, Spurrier signed another ex-Florida player, wide receiver Chris Doering. <br> <br> Wuerffel hasn&#39;t thrown an NFL pass since 1999. In his career, he is 126-of-258 for 1,404 yards with nine touchdowns and 16 interceptions. <br> <br> Had he remained with the Texans, Wuerffel would have competed with Mike Quinn for the No. 3 quarterback spot. <br> <br> If Houston chooses Fresno State quarterback David Carr with the top overall pick in the draft, he probably will begin the season as the backup behind a veteran most likely acquired through free agency. <br> <br> <br>
