Which paid nothing unless he made the team, and the reports right before he died claimed that this was almost certainly not going to happen. Just like in Washington the team was giving up on him with stunning speed.

Wasn't that a provisional contract?


Shittsburgh Squeelers 2021 Exit Interviews: Dwayne Haskins

Position: Quarterback
Years with the Steelers: 1
Years in the NFL: 3 (including this season with no games played)
Contract Status: Restricted free agent
Contract Details: It has been reported Haskins will be offered an original-round tender which will be worth about $2.5 million.
Games played in 2021: None
Games started in 2021: None
Snaps (regular season): None
PFF score: None
Notable stats (regular season): None

Notes: Despite being on the Squeelers 53-man roster for all of the 2021 NFL season, Haskins was only in uniform for Week 10 when Ben Roethlisberger missed the game due to being on the Reserve/COVID-19 List.

Not playing a single snap for the Steelers, the only thing to go on for Haskins’ progression is speculation about practice and preseason performance.

With the presumption Haskins will be offered an original-round restricted free agent tender, he will be in the mix to fight for the starting job in 2022.

But if another team wants to sign Haskins and is willing to part with their first-round pick, it would be a much better scenario for the Squeelers. One can only dream.

Let me know if you don't understand what the big words mean.

Because of his raw talent he was given every opportunity, but he never measured up, and it was the general opinion of the coaches that he was not much trying either.
 
All the people who called Dwayne a terrible person for going to the strip club in the middle of a pandemic can feel bad about themselves now. Young man having a bit of earthly pleasure (if not a tad inappropriate) while he still could.

Bull Shit....I have been watching as reports that the team was giving up on him get scrubbed from the internet. He was almost out of the NFL.

No Sir! He was in Florida attending a Quarterback camp at the leading contender's home.

Haskins was another leading contender that the other quarterback hopefuls all agreed- They were all worried about his obvious skills and admitted that he may have been the best among them!

It was a part of his long record of lack of maturity.

He said good words after, but it was all Bull Shit.

I'll take the words of the Steelers over your speculation.

Head coach Mike Tomlin
I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins. He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers, both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.
​

Mike Sullivan, quarterback coach
Heartbroken and devastated by Dwayne’s sudden passing... It was a joy to see him grow and develop, both as a quarterback & as a man. His positive attitude, bright smile & genuine enthusiasm will be missed by everyone. Praying for his wife, Kalabrya, and the Haskins Family

Merrill Hoge, former coach
I join the @steelers and #SteelerNation in the grieving process after suffering the loss of our family member Dwayne Haskins. I personally knew Dwayne as a young kid when he played for me on the USA football team. My thoughts & prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones.

[FONT=open_sansregular]Among teammates who posted Instagram stories paying tribute were wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who, accompanied by a photo of he and Haskins at practice wrote, “I love you bra! You had so much ahead of you!”

Cornerback Cameron Sutton wrote, accompanied by a heart and prayer hands, “I am in such a state of shock. Such a disbelief state. It’s an ugly world, man.”[/FONT]

Wrote defensive lineman Tyson Alualu: “So crazy. Love you bro… Def gonna miss you.”

“Devastated,” wrote quarterback Mason Rudolph.[/FONT]

You're so hateful about a person you don't know and who never touched your life in any way. Be ashamed.

That is not reality as I understand it.

Steelers plan to bring Dwayne Haskins back, unsure if he can evolve into a starter

Three years ago, Dwayne Haskins was a first-round draft pick anointed the future franchise quarterback in Washington. Now the question is whether he has any future at all in Pittsburgh.

Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert indicated Monday that Haskins does have some future, saying Haskins will be in the mix along with Mason Rudolph.

“Dwayne will be a restricted free agent, and I’m sure we’ll decide to tender him at some point. So we have Dwayne and we have Mason,” Colbert said.

But can Haskins actually compete to start? Colbert wasn’t ready to say more than “maybe” to that.

“Dwayne Haskins came in to get some nice things done throughout the season as a scout team quarterback, he played some in the preseason, and we’re excited to see what Dwayne can provide either from a competition or maybe he evolves into a starter,” said Colbert. “None of us know at this point. I think it’ll be a great training camp for those two and for whichever player we’re able to add to the mix.”

Haskins was dumped by Washington after less than two years, and he never got on the field for the Steelers in 2021. At this point it seems like a long shot that he’ll ever be a starter in the NFL, but at just 24 years old, the Steelers aren’t giving up on him just yet.

I should note that his contract also did not count against the cap, and when it was offered the team said flat out that they were giving this guy some room to get his shit together. The reason they were willing to do that is that he had obvious raw talent that he had been squandering up to that point.

Then after only weeks they were about done.

How about you link up to someone in the organization saying they were about done with him?

I'll understand if you can't.
 
Also interesting is that the only reason Washington took him as the 15th overall pick in the draft is that the owner at the time wanted him, because he had played for the same HS as one of his kids. The organization was generally opposed.
