Haskins also recently met with the Carolina Panthers.

Washington parted ways with Haskins in late December after he only made 13 starts for the team in less than two years.

After his release from Washington, Haskins wasn’t immediately picked up by any teams. He was fined $40,000 and he was removed as a team captain after he was caught photographed without a mask at a party, which was a violation of the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols.

Haskins ended up starting for Washington in its Week 16 game against the Panthers but was benched in favor of third-string quarterback Taylor Heinicke, which led to Haskins’ release the following day.
