According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, free agent QB Dwayne Haskins is unlikely to sign before the season is over, but he is receiving interest from several teams.
Rapoport reports that the Panthers are among the interested teams in Haskins and there are others who are intrigued by the former first-round pick.
Haskins officially cleared waivers on Tuesday and is now free to sign with a team of his choosing.
Haskins had 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 was in the second year of his four-year, $14,416,600 rookie contract that included an $8,504,800 signing bonus.
Washington waived Haskins on Monday following a disastrous week. The former 2019 first-round pick was going to be relegated to third-string duties at the time of his release.
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.
