Ron Rivera Exerting His Influence Is the Silver Lining in Dwayne Haskins's Release

Religious followers of the Washington Football Team might be hard-pressed to find a silver lining in Monday’s news that Dwayne Haskins, the team’s first-round pick in 2019, has been released, leaving the team with a razor-thin list of usable quarterback options heading into a win-and-in regular-season finale.

This marks the end of a short and disastrous marriage that was, in many ways, doomed from the outset. Haskins was not coveted by his first coaching staff. His selection, according to ESPN, made a member of the Jay Gruden regime want to “throw up on the floor” of the team’s war room.
