Dwayne Haskins Rumors: Multiple Execs See QB as 'Worth a Low-Risk Gamble'

Former Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins went unclaimed on waivers this week after being released, but he has drawn some level of interest as a free agent. 

Joseph Person of The Athletic reported teams could view Haskins as a "low-risk gamble" after his fall in Washington.

The Ohio State product was released Monday, just one day after starting in the team's 20-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Haskins was the No. 15 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft after a huge 2018 season at Ohio State, but the transition to the NFL has been a difficult one.

Over the course of two seasons, Haskins is just 3-10 as a starter with 2,804 yards, 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

There is also the issue of immaturity, as Haskins violated COVID-19 protocol last week by partying with strippers while not wearing a mask. As a result, the Washington Football Team fined Haskins $40,000 and stripped him of his captaincy before ultimately releasing him.

Although Haskins seemingly has plenty of developing and growing up to do, he is still only 23 years old and just a couple of years removed from being a Heisman Trophy finalist.

Following his release, Haskins showed some maturity by tweeting: "My time with the WFT has unfortunately come to an end. I thank the team and fans for the opportunity to play for the team I grew up rooting for. I take full responsibility for not meeting the standards of a NFL QB and will become a better man and players because of this experience."

He also parted ways with agent David Mulugheta, meaning any team that wants to sign Haskins may have to deal with him directly.

While Haskins has lost much of his luster, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported this week that several teams have shown interest in Haskins, including the Panthers.
