Wow. I know it's easy to bag on him, and he absolutely does deserve criticism for his unprofessionalism, but I don't think he's a bad kid. The problem is he still acts like a kid. Washington is for once actually doing him a favor. He desperately needed a wake-up call

He has the tools to be a lot more than just a decent QB. He isn't some Drew Stanton journeyman-type talent. There's a reason he went 15th overall despite one year as a starter. It's his maturity and work ethic that need to improve by leaps and bounds

Ideally he’s signed somewhere that has a veteran QB to act as a North Star to model, and has to fight for the backup spot.

Interesting that the guy who replaced him yesterday is another QB out of the Rivera/Turner stable. They definitely have their type of QB and that was never going to be Dwayne.
I don’t see him getting picked up quickly due to salary, but he should get another shot as a FA. Hell if Rosen and Mariotta can end up on a team certainly Dwayne can.
Seattle and Russell Wilson might be a good fit.

I have my doubts but we’ll see. Based on talent yes... based on other uncontrollable factors (the ones he can’t control) we’ll see

Dwayne Haskins released: Washington cuts ties with former first-round pick, Ron Rivera issues statement
"My time with the WFT has unfortunately come to an end. I thank the team and fans for the opportunity to play for the team I grew up rooting for. I take full responsibility for not meeting the standards of [an] NFL QB, and I will become a better man and player because of this experience."
Haskins will now enter waivers, and any team that claims him will be on the hook for $68,000 for Week 17 and approximately $4.3 million fully guaranteed over the remainder of his contract, per Dan Graziano of ESPN. That's a hard sell for any club, and especially given the variables surrounding his exit from Washington. Haskins was recently fined for a second time this season after being caught at an exotic club following the Week 15 loss without wearing a mask, his second violation of the league's COVID-19 protocol, and one that led to Washington mulling his release before deciding to instead start him against the Panthers; after stripping him of his captain's status.

The bad news is that he basically failed as a QB for the WFT and was released.
The good news is he was released (as opposed to traded) so he can negotiate with any other team and has guaranteed money for 2 more years.
His problem might be getting a NFL team to assume his (just over) $2M a year contract for the 2021 & 2022. Basically at this point in his career he is still unproven as an NFL starting QB and a lot of backup QBs are making less than $1M per year.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins Forgot about 1 NFL Fee When He Signed His $14.4 Million Contract: ‘Taxes Are No Joke’
Haskins has made some questionable choices on the field. Off the field, when it comes to his finances, he started off with a wise move: 70% of his earnings went straight to the bank. The remaining 30% would be set aside for bills, necessary purchases, and of course some fun splurges. Even with most of his money in the bank, Haskins knows how to have fun with the rest.
The young QB told GQ that his biggest expense was a $750,000 home. It wasn’t for him; his mother, who he feels he can’t owe enough to for his success, will enjoy the property. His sister, who also dedicated a great deal toward her brother’s success, had her $50,000 college education bill covered.
A quarter million dollar Bentley Bentayga was the way Haskins decided to treat himself. Oh, and a vacation to the Bahamas that racked up about $10,000 in costs. If you see him in an eye-catching chain, it might be the $10,000 piece he painstakingly selected, or among his larger collection (worth $60,000).
His $10,000 in custom suits and $40,000 in clothing could be spun as investments in himself. After all, part of building your brand as an athlete in the current era is looking impeccable every time you arrive on game day. Losing a cool $10,000 on a bet with a friend, on the other hand, goes squarely in the frivolous category. But for now, he can afford to be silly with a sum like that.

Apparently he did make some good financial decisions in banking 70% (also buying his mother a house and paying for his sister's college education); so he should have a "good chunk of change" invested somewhere, etc.

You mean like Josh Rosen, No. 10 pick, who was traded after 1 year in Arizona and cut by the Dolphins early the following year?

I lead, you follow.
A pipe dream - but there's a certain Legend Buckeye taking a high position in Detroit where he will have a good say in how the team will be built.
Wonder what the odds are that he can reach out to Dwayne about sitting behind an established vet while becoming a better QB and professional?

Just sayin': I don't think the odds are very good. It appears that earlier this year the Lions have decided on Chase Daniel as their primary backup to the QB1 position in Detroit:
Source: Chase Daniel agrees to 3-year, $13.05M deal with Lions
Mar 17, 2020
Former Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel has reached an agreement with the Detroit Lions on a three-year, $13.05 million deal that includes a voidable clause, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Lions knew they needed to address their backup quarterback situation after losing starter Matthew Stafford to a broken back for the final eight games of the season. Lions general manager Bob Quinn said after the season that potentially paying more for a backup quarterback this year was something the club would consider.

It's not likely that they would add Haskins' $2M per year contract for a 2nd backup QB.

I hate to go “back in the day” here, but it used to be that franchises planned 4-6 years in advance to an extent...now, coaches get fired after 1-2 seasons, rosters get emptied, and new guys get brought in. That makes it a hell of a lot harder on a guy like Dwayne to find a situation where a team has the foresight to pay him and stash him for 2-3 seasons...it just doesn’t happen anymore.
