My time with the Washington football team has unfortunately come to an end.

I thank the team and the fans for the opportunity to play for the team I grew up rooting for.

I take full responsibility for not meeting the standards of an NFL quarterback and will become a better man and player because of this experience.

Dan, I want to start with you what happened here with this relationship.

I mean, almost everything that could have gone wrong went wrong.

Basically, Washington got to a point where it decided that it was it was doing more harm than good to them toe, have him on the roster.

I mean, look, go back a week and he was in trouble for off field behavior that could have brought the cove in 19 virus into the facility, right, so they stripped him of his captaincy.

They find him $40,000 but they still give him the start Sunday because Alex Smith can't go, so they're offering him a chance like, Hey, man, show us.

Show us that you've learned from the experience of this year last year and that you've grown and that you're ready to deliver it.

Ah, high level for us.

The exact opposite happened.

He was unable to do anything to help them win a game that they needed to win.

So now you have a situation where both off the field and on the field.

Not only is he not helping you, but he's actively hurting you.

They know they're not going to go with him next year.

So they decided to cut the court now and move on and try and win this game this week that they need to win without him.

Marcus, I have to wonder, What does Haskins future look like in the NFL?

To you?

Yeah.

Very, very sketchy.

Ryan, when you think about look, I want everybody to keep this in context.

The Washington football team is about to play a play in game for the playoffs, and they cut the dude that started seven days ago for them at the quarterback position.

Like think about that indictment and what the other 31 other teams are looking at.

and saying to themselves, How does it get this bad that they have to cut Dwayne Haskins before they go into a potential playoff game?

And then the second part is this, like there are things that we don't know that other organizations will know when they called to inquire about Dwayne Haskins.

And I don't wanna Powell on because the kid is young and I hope he gets another opportunity to play in this league toe, have a chance at success.

That doesn't guarantee he's going to be a good quarterback or anything like that.

But we know there's talent there through 50 touchdowns at Ohio State.

So there's some talent that somebody may want to attach themselves to.

But what you have to you have to ask every other team in NFL.

I am going to need you to get over the fact that the Washington football team cut him before a play in playoff game.

That is the biggest indictment on this whole situation when it comes to a football standpoint and Jeff, when I think about that, I think about how tough it may be for him to catch on elsewhere.

No, there's no doubt I mean, let's think about this man like like it's hard.

This is not an easy thing to do to get released.

This is the fastest any Any players been cut since, you know e think in NFL history from A from a guy who's been drafted 15 like it just It is hard work from a guy who went undrafted, thio all of swag, you and dance points.

You know that this was an indictment on he.

He is mawr of a problem than a solution in a situation where we're trying to make the playoffs.

That that is never there is no warm and fuzzies in this thing, and I'm with.

So why do on this?

Look, man, I'm a player guy.

I want every player to be successful.

I want to make the most money they can play in this game like, but at some point you have to be a pro's pro.

And if you're not handling your business off on and then on the future, walking in and offering nothing to a football team, man, it is tough to get back in.

So hopefully he'll get an opportunity to back up somewhere and learn how to be a how to be a professional football player and really turn the experience around from where he is right now.

Yeah, maybe it would have been a different story had he been performing on the field, but obviously not so we'll see what happens next with him.
