Question of the Day
The former Washington quarterback signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, joining one of the league’s premier franchises as the 23-year-old looks to revitalize his career.
Washington, of course, cut Haskins late last month after he was benched in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Carolina Panthers. The release also was following off-the-field turmoil in which Haskins was caught partying indoors without a mask a week earlier.
