Washington not sure of future at QB position

Ron Rivera admitted the obvious on Monday: Washington doesn’t know its quarterback of the future. So what are the team’s options? The pressure on the team to identify one is immense because, by year two of a rebuild, there should be a plan in place at the sport’s most important position.

Option one is Dwayne Haskins. Rivera said he still believes Haskins has the talent to be the long-term solution, but he challenged the 23-year-old to prove, as the new backup, that he learned from being benched and will work harder to prepare every week.

According to the story, the free agent class is thin, and the only starter-quality options under 30 are Dak Prescott and Jameis Winston. Cam Newton, Rivera’s former starter with Carolina, is 31 years old and struggled since a hot start with the Patriots. Washington could look to the draft. But if the team continues to prioritize winning now — the “short-term glory,” as Rivera once said — it would potentially pick out of range for the consensus top two quarterbacks, Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields. This would leave them to choose between second-tier options, such as North Dakota State’s Trey Lance, Brigham Young’s Zach Wilson or Florida’s Kyle Trask, the story went on to say.
