Dwayne Haskins visiting the Carolina Panthers today

While the Washington Football Team is set for a playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today, its former quarterback is getting set for his first trip.

Sources say that Dwayne Haskins will leave Sunday night on a free-agent visit with the Carolina Panthers, one that will begin in earnest on Monday morning.

It is the first trip for the former first-rounder who was waived by Washington on Dec. 28, then cleared waivers thanks in part to his $4.3 million in remaining salary that Washington will cover. The new team would likely only pay Haskins the minimum.

There is uncertainty for the Panthers heading into the 2021 season at quarterback, with Teddy Bridgewater being pulled in his last start and head coach Matt Rhule saying Bridgewater must have a "tremendous offseason."

Could Haskins be part of the solution? There are other teams with interest in the talented player who was picked No. 15 in 2019, and this could be just fact-finding for Carolina.

However, if it goes well for both sides, it could turn into a signing. Rhule has known Haskins since high school, and Ryan Day -- Haskins' coach at Ohio State -- worked with Rhule at Temple in 2006. There are connections, and Carolina is doing its homework.

If Haskins does end up getting signed by the Panthers what are the chances we still draft a QB in the first round? Would we just go BPA and not resolve the QB issue?

I don't think it has much to do with who we would take in round 1. They aren't bringing him in as a starter prospect.

Considering how bad he has shown to be I hope not. They would have no means of evaluating his actual performance in person before the draft.

I like it a lot. Joe Brady is the guy that transformed Joe Burrow who’s job was taken by Haskins at OSU into the Heisman Winner and #1 pick in 2020. Maybe, Brady can do the same thing to Haskins who was highly touted coming out of OSU and never lived up to the hype. I would love to see what Haskins could do with guys like CMC, Moore and Anderson. If he doesn’t perform, we can then take Tyler Shough in 2022.

Maybe he can turn around Haskins career like he did Teddys......

Teddy in 2020 is Teddy ever since he was drafted. Just look at the stats. Brady actually did a good job with Teddy this past season. What sucked was giving him $60 million, not the inability to develop Teddy. 

I agree, Rhule screwed us with Teddy.

I know I've been saying this for too long but we could have gotten similar production from Kyle Allen and put that $20m per season into other places on the team. Imagine more depth in the secondary and o-line this past season? I hate thinking about it.

Rhule knows him and if anyone can get the most out of someone like him, its Rhule. I trust our staff with him and if it works out, great. If not, then you're not losing anything. I think Washington didn't handle him well but I think his trouble there has hopefully helped him grow up. I think its a win win for us if the visit goes well.

I want to see him learn and compete in a system that is not a complete train wreck! He's obviously not ready to be a pro, but that doesn't mean that he will never be ready!

I think that’s fair. It can’t hurt too much if Rhule is even considering bringing him in. Just hope that his same attitude issues that were apparent in Washington don’t come with him, and if they do then especially that they don’t rub off on others here. But yeah he definitely has the upside there to at least be a decent backup. Still definitely want to draft a QB high in the 1st round this year.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
