ESPN believes Redskins’ commitment to Dwayne Haskins not as secure as you would think?

Redskins’ QB Dwayne Haskins will get every opportunity to start this season, but ESPN believes the commitment isn’t as great as you think.

What Graziano says about the situation

“Washington’s quarterback contract situation remains unique, as the team still owes the injured Alex Smith $16 million in fully guaranteed salary this year. We are projecting Haskins as the starter on the assumption that Smith doesn’t make it back from his injuries (which he very well might) and that the new coaching staff will start the 2019 first-round draft pick over Kyle Allen.”

“Regardless, Haskins got an $8.5 million signing bonus a year ago and has a total of about $5.42 million in fully guaranteed salary coming his way over the next three years.”

Now for our take. I tend to think Haskins’ job security is a little better than this. The team spent a lot of money on a No. 15 overall draft pick, and you’d think they’d give him a good shot to make good on that investment. But, with the changing of the guard at the head coaching position, you just never know.

Either way, it’s in the former Heisman finalists’ best interest to hit the ground running early during the 2020-2021 season.
