It’s Ron Rivera’s show in Washington. We’ve known this for some time, but Rivera’s influence on the organization has never been more apparent after the release of quarterback Dwayne Haskins, the 15th overall choice in the NFL’s 2019 Draft. Abandoning a choice in the first round after less than two seasons is almost unheard of, but Rivera was not in the building when Haskins was drafted, and Haskins did nothing close to generating Rivera’s faith or patience in his limited time together. Notably, this whole drama unfolds as Washington prepares for a Week 17 showdown against eagles this could decide NFC East in your favor. No matter what happens on Sunday night, Rivera will be leading the search for a new defender in this off-season.
