Dwayne Haskins Parts Ways With Agent

Dwayne Haskins is looking for a new team. He’s also looking for new representation. After going unclaimed on the waiver wire, the former Washington quarterback and agent David Mulugheta mutually agreed to part ways, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (on Twitter).

There is, at least, a market for the former first-round pick. Several teams are said to be interested in the strong-armed QB, including the Panthers. Haskins, who has been pegged by many as having an attitude problem, is unlikely to sign with any team before the end of the year. Playoff contenders see Haskins as too green to trust as an emergency option. And, for non-playoff teams, there’s little sense in tying up payroll by signing Haskins immediately.

Washington had high hopes for Haskins after selecting him in the first round of the 2019 draft. It was a move that the franchise came to regret, and Ron Rivera‘s regime had little reason to keep up appearances. Haskins didn’t inspire confidence in his second pro season and his Week 16 performance was the final straw. Starting in place of Alex Smith, Haskins completed just 50% of his throws for 154 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He was leapfrogged by Taylor Heinicke and responded poorly — Rivera quickly handed him a pink slip.

There were rumblings that his first head coach, Jay Gruden, never wanted him. Owner Dan Snyder may have forced Haskins on Gruden, but he didn’t make the same demand of Rivera.
