The Untouchables: 5 players Washington couldn’t part with in a trade for a QB

The Untouchables: Here are 5 players Washington couldn’t part with in a trade for a QB.
WR Terry McLaurin, There are two players on Washington’s roster that are absolutely untouchable, arguably in any trade. Terry McLaurin is one of them.
DE Chase Young, Voted a team captain in his rookie season, and a shoo-in for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award, the ceiling for Young is simply too high.
DT Jonathan Allen, He may not be as untouchable as either of the two previously mentioned players, but it is going to take a lot to get Washington to let go of him.
DT Daron Payne, Everything we said for Jonathan Allen can be copied and pasted here for Payne.
RB Antonio Gibson, You could argue about whether or not Washington would trade away Gibson in the right package, but I don’t think they’d do so willingly

Washington benches QB Dwayne Haskins; Taylor Heinicke to play under center

The Washington Football Team has seen enough, and so have all of the fans as well.
After a terrible showing in Sunday’s game against the Panthers, Ron Rivera has made the decision to pull the plug on Dwayne Haskins, and it could very likely be the last snaps he takes in a Washington uniform.
In the first three quarters, Haskins went 14-for-28 for 154 yards with 2 interceptions and one fumble.
His potential last play ever with the franchise was taking a sack on 4th and 2, trailing by 14 points in the fourth quarter.
In replacement, Washington will trot QB Taylor Heinicke out there and hope that he can give them some type of production
