Washington Redskins officials are leaning strongly against re-signing free agent quarterback Danny Wuerffel this offseason, sources close to the situation said yesterday.

Club officials previously resolved to allow Shane Matthews to leave the team via free agency, so the Redskins likely will add two new quarterbacks as Patrick Ramsey's backups next season.

Coach Steve Spurrier said yesterday he had not ruled out re-signing Wuerffel or Matthews. But sources said other Redskins officials are intent on severing ties with most or all of Spurrier's former University of Florida players. Spurrier said the Redskins are studying other quarterback options and acknowledged it is possible Wuerffel and Matthews won't return.

"We could re-sign one of them, but we're looking at some other guys around the league right now," Spurrier said.

After a season with the Redskins, Wuerffel and Matthews are eligible for unrestricted free agency in March. Spurrier has named Ramsey, a first-round draft choice last April, as the team's starter next season after he started five games as a rookie .
