Colin Cowherd Reacts To Dwayne Haskins Getting Released Matt Hladik Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins. Washington Football Team’s decision to release quarterback and onetime first-round pick Dwayne Haskins sent shockwaves throughout the NFL. It is rare enough for a team to give up on a first-round quarterback before the end of his second season. It’s unheard of for a team to release said player. Even Johnny Manziel made it to the offseason before his third year with the Browns. But Washington was clearly fed up with Haskins, who was benched for practice squad promotion Taylor Heinicke in Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. As a result, they cut ties, and Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd didn’t seem too surprised.
