The Facts: NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Haskins has a visit set with the Steelers today, per sources informed of the situation.
Diehards Line:
In late December, Haskins was cut by the Washington Football Team before the season ended, after just 13 starts in less than two years. The former first-round pick also recently visited the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers surprisingly didn't upgrade their QB room in 2020, riding with Mason Rudolph and Josh Dobbs behind Ben Roethlisberger. With Ben Roethlisberger's future beyond this season in doubt, meeting with Haskins is an initial indication that Pittsburgh is looking for young signal-callers in the coming season. A former first-round pick, Haskins has a big arm that can spray the ball all over the field. However, poor mechanics and struggles reading defenses have led to inconsistent play. Off-field concerns emanating from Washington led to his release. Under Mike Tomlin, behind Big Ben, could be a positive landing spot for both parties if the visit leads to a job.
