Haskins has recently been demoted to third-string quarterback in Washington. He began the year by winning the starting job with the Football Team but has since been benched.
Through four games, Haskins threw for 939 yards and 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions while completing 61 percent of his passes. Washington was just 1-3 with Haskins under center. Life hasn’t been much better with Haskins on the bench, as Washington is now 1-5 on the year.
Following Haskins’ benching two weeks ago, CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora reported that Washington was expected to trade the first-round draft pick before the deadline — or at least gauge some interest from other teams around the league.
