Traded to the Washington Redskins this preseason from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for cornerback Doug Dutch, quarterback John Beck has made a strong impression.

Enough so that the Redskins signed Beck to a two-year, $2.25 million contract extension last week, a league source with knowledge of the situation confirmed.

He's now under contract for the next three years for a total of $3.35 million.

A former Miami Dolphins second-round draft pick, the former BYU star is running behind Donovan McNabb and Rex Grossman on the depth chart.

The Ravens cut Dutch on Monday.
