Dwayne Haskins’ term in office in Washington is over.
According to NFL Network, Haskins was released today in Washington’s first draft pick in 2019.
The move comes after the latest bad performance in a series by Haskins, who was once seen as Washington’s future franchise quarterback, but quickly proves he’s not on the field or on the field.
Washington coach Ron Rivera was not involved in drafting Haskins and was clearly never sold to him, and this year Haskins was relegated to a third string, first behind Kyle Allen and then behind Alex Smith. On Sunday and in the post-season, Washington plans to start Alex Smith, with Taylor Heinicke supporting him.
Haskins will now be available for remission for any team that wants him. If there’s another team out there that scored a first-round pick on Haskins in next year’s draft, he might be required to apologize. But it wouldn’t be surprising if the rest of the NFL is just as low on Haskins as Rivera.
