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.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
