The Washington Football Team is willing to listen on offers for Dwayne Haskins, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (on Twitter). Of course, that doesn’t come as a huge surprise following Haskins’ benching.
Haskins, the No. 15 overall pick of the 2019 draft, was demoted from franchise quarterback to the team’s QB3, behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith. The relationship between Haskins and head coach Ron Rivera has reportedly turned toxic and a fresh start would probably please both sides.
“What they’ll tell you in that building is that [Haskins] is a project who was drafted by the owner and his son,” according to a person familiar with the team’s thinking. “That’s the bottom line there. Allen is their guy. They think he fits their system. They didn’t really want anything to do with Haskins from the beginning.”
Haskins completed just 61% of his passes with four touchdowns against three INTs before he was benched. He had a similarly trying rookie year, with a 58.6% completion rate, seven TDs, and seven INTs across nine games (seven starts).
In Haskins’ defense, Washington’s O-Line didn’t do him any favors in 2020. He also has an affordable contract — he’s owed just $5MM for the remainder of his rookie deal. According to one report, Haskins could be had for anything above a sixth-round pick. If the asking price is really that low, Washington should be able to find a taker for the QB between now and the deadline.
Niners? The price is right and Jimmy can’t stay healthy and isn’t all that good when he is healthy.
They have Mullens, and he’s probably better than Haskins right now even though that isn’t saying a ton. I’d say the Bears or Steelers would be best for him.
Monumentous mistake to think Haskins is a fit in San Fran.
Frankly, given his skillset, its a mind bender to think where he might fit in, unless your thinking strictly back up.
Does Dallas make sense?
I was wondering the same.
In other obvious news: The sun is still hot
Bears, why not?
At this point, I’m all for it
Did anyone actually think Haskins would be any good? We all know Ohio State quarterbacks don’t usually amount to anything in the NFL.
Another minority qb with little On field skill, Jameis 2.0
“Another minority.” I could already tell this mans culture.
Bro what?? Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton are all some of the most talents QB’s in the league. You sound like an ignorant idiot.
If I were the Raiders, I’d take a peek. He should at least be a decent backup QB at an affordable price, and he has some upside potential. I’d like to check the attitude issue, but with a team as bad as Washington, sometimes the attitude issue cuts both ways.
Snyder should just trade Haskins for Cousins to confirm that he has no idea what he is doing.
Snyder doesn’t need to do anything else to prove that.
After what happened last year, they would be crazy to trade Haskins.
3rd round pick… come to New England!
