Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins has reportedly been fined a decent amount of money for visiting a strip club.
Haskins has been in the news ever since a photo emerged of him maskless at a strip club following Washington losing to Seattle this past Sunday. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Dwayne Haskins was finally back as a starter [due to injury] and after losing to the #Seahawks, apparently decided to party at a strip club.
The team is aware of the posts and are in contact with the league while handling it internally, per @NickiJhabvala pic.twitter.com/z5uYHTQJ19

According to Ian Rapoport, his foolish decision has now cost him $40,000, which is half of his weekly pay from the team.
Washington QB Dwayne Haskins was fined $40K by the team for COVID-19 violations after he attended a strip club without a mask, source said. A significant amount. This is the largest known fine for a player for a COVID violation – more than half of Haskins’ weekly paycheck.

I know it might sound harsh, but I still think Washington should just use this as a reason to cut Haskins and get out of the contract with him.
At this point, it’s crystal clear he’s not committed to winning in Washington. If he was committed to the team, he wouldn’t have hit up a strip club after losing during a pandemic.
It’s truly that simple.

The NFL is a business. It’s not a place for young men to screw around and make stupid decision. He’s clearly not the QB of the future. Find a reason to cut him and move on. Fining him $40,000 sends a message. Kicking him out the door would send a hell of a lot tougher one.
