The Washington Football Team has released Dwayne Haskins.

"This afternoon I met with Dwayne and informed him that we would be releasing him. I told him that I believe it benefits both parties that we go our separate ways. We want to thank Dwayne for his contributions these last two seasons and wish him well moving forward," Washington coach Ron Rivera said in a statement.

Haskins was the 15th overall pick in 2019 and was benched in the fourth quarter after two interceptions and a lost fumble.

Haskins started for two straight weeks despite being fined and losing his captain role for violating COVID-19 protocols.
