Dwayne Haskins' future with the Washington Football Team is anything but guaranteed at this point. Multiple rumors have suggested that the 23-year-old is on his way off the squad, but as it appears, no other teams have shown interest in the former first-round pick.
This report comes via John Keim of ESPN:
FWIW: No team has yet called Washington to inquire about Dwayne Haskins, according to multiple sources…

Haskins has not had the best of starts to the new season, and after serving as the team's starting QB for their first four games, Washington coach Ron Rivera opted to drop Haskins for Week 5. Rivera handed over the reigns to Kyle Allen, and to make matters worse for Haskins, he wasn't only benched, but was relegated to a third-string backup behind Allen and Alex Smith.
Keim also went on to report that Haskins has not demanded a trade:
And my understanding is that he has not requested a trade.

To be fair to Haskins, he seems to be willing to fight for his spot on the roster. Coach Rivera has already mentioned previously that his decision to drop Haskins stemmed more from Allen's familiarity with the offense. He has not indicated that they intend to trade Haskins away, so at this point, this situation could still be fixable.
Moreover, Keim's report above indicates that not much interest has been shown on Haskins anyway, so it's not like Washington is going to get an excellent deal for him prior to the Nov. 3 deadline. For the time being, it looks like Haskins is going to be slugging it out with the Washington Football Team. What the future holds for him beyond this season, however, is an altogether different question.
The Washington Football Team sits at 1-3 on the season after a 30-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Allen will continue to start as long as he's healthy, but look for Smith to get more reps as the season goes on.
