Dwayne Haskins is officially out in Washington just a week after he was seen violating Covid-19 protocols by hanging out mask-less at a nightclub.
Washington has released QB Dwayne Haskins, per me and @TomPelissero.

Washington released quarterback Dwayne Haskins on Monday, hours after coach Ron Rivera said either Alex Smith or Taylor Heinicke will start the regular-season finale with the NFC East at stake.
Rivera is “optimistic” Smith will be ready to play at the Philadelphia Eagles after missing the past two games with a strained right calf. Haskins started those two games, both losses, is 1-5 this season and turned the ball over three times in a 20-13 defeat to Carolina on Sunday that saw him benched for Heinicke.
Immediately after the WFT released him, fans quickly reminded Haskins about the time he said “the league done messed up” after he was drafted 15th at 2019 NFL draft.

Fans also began comparing Haskins to Raiders draft bust JaMarcus Russell.
