Adam Schefter has confirmed:

I think Florio pretty much summed it up best:

"But, hey, the Redskins got the guy they wanted. The guy whose Broncos went 8-8 in 2008, just like the Redskins did. The guy whose Broncos went 7-9 in 2007, two games worse than the Redskins.

The guy who has won only one playoff game in the eleven years since winning a second straight Super Bowl with a team built largely by someone else, and held together in part by proven salary-cap violations for which the Broncos were fined nearly $2 million and stripped of two third-round draft picks.

So now that the Redskins got the guy they coveted, can someone explain to us why in the hell they coveted him?

Like they say, better be careful what you wish for.

I find it shocking that no one points that out. 1 playoff win since Elway left?

Damn..... Looks like Portis will have some good years.

[Panthers128]

and the NFC East will have some offensive lineman with shorter careers...

Shanahan is one of the most overrated coaches in the history of the NFL, which makes him a perfect fit for the Skins.

I wish we could have a change in Carolina? Maybe an offensive minded coach or one that allows the offense to score the whole game, not sit on a lead?

Shananhan is a good coach, just like Cowher, but overrated

Maybe they see something in him that nobody can. That or he is a "name" coach that doesn't have a job.
