Soon after news that the Washington Football Team had released quarterback Dwayne Haskins on Monday, current and former NFL players, media members and even a former NFL team executive took to social media to offer everything from encouraging words to general surprise to hindsight surrounding the 2019 NFL draft first-round pick. Haskins was benched in the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 16 game after throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble in a 20-13 home loss to the Carolina Panthers. Washington coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Taylor Heinicke, who replaced Haskins in Sunday's contest, would start in the team's regular-season finale at the Philadelphia Eagles if Alex Smith remains sidelined with a right calf injury. Check out some of the social media reaction from players such as Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Tyrann Mathieu and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant.
