The rumors connecting Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to the Redskins always felt like a smokescreen. Or simple due diligence from a team picking second overall.
But now, it is becoming increasingly clear that Tagovailoa isn’t really in consideration with that selection.

“I don’t think [Washington owner] Dan [Snyder] would want that,” says a source familiar with the organization’s thinking. “He wants to give Haskins the opportunity and I think Dan is infatuated with [Ohio State defensive end] Chase Young.
