I can't imagine [Washington Times Skins beat writer] Elfin believes there's a realistic scenario that has Brennan under center for the Redskins in 2010. And even if Brennan was an option, no way owner Dan Snyder, who has a predilection for high-priced free agents, lets it happen.

Harry Jaffe: Five reasons Dan Snyder should sign Michael Vick
