Dwayne Haskins Passes Through Waivers Unclaimed, Now A Free agent

According to Mike Garafolo, former Washington QB Dwayne Haskins has passed through waivers unclaimed. 

Adam Schefter reports that some teams have already expressed interest in Haskins following the news that he went unclaimed. 

Washington waived Haskins on Monday following a disastrous week. The former 2019 first-round pick was going to be relegated to third-string duties and be inactive for Week 17 behind journeyman QB Taylor Heinicke before the team decided it would be best for everyone to move on. 

Haskins has started the past two games for Washington, both losses. He’s been a disaster off the field and his performance on the field wasn’t much better. 

Haskins, 23, was selected by Washington with the No. 15 overall pick out of Ohio State after many believed he would end up being a top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He’s in the second year of his four-year, $14,416,600 rookie contract that included an $8,504,800 signing bonus. 

Haskins’ contract included a fifth-year option to be picked up in 2022. He was owed base salaries of $1,805,602 and $2,460,903 over the final two years of the agreement. 

In 2020, Haskins appeared in six games for Washington and completed 62.9 percent of his passes for 1,285 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
