Redskins

Former Redskins LBs coach Rob Ryan said in an interview with Colin Cowherd that QB Dwayne Haskins wasn’t ready to play as a rookie. 

“He’s a good kid,” Ryan said, via RedskinsWire.com. “He’s got a big arm, a lot of talent, but definitely not ready for the rigors of the NFL.”

Even so, Ryan said he saw improvement over the course of the year from Haskins.

“He got a lot better from when he was thrown into games,” Ryan said. “I remember in New York, it was awful. He wasn’t ready. We threw him in the game and it wasn’t fair to the kid. He just wasn’t ready. So at least each week I saw him trying to get better. I saw him trying to meet with [former Washington quarterbacks coach] Tim Rattay, who’s a real fine coach now at Oklahoma State. He was trying to get better.”

• Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports mentions the Redskins as a potential fit for free agent TE Austin Hooper.
• Sources tell Connor Hughes that free agent CB James Bradberry is “more interested in Washington than Washington is in Bradberry.“
