The Steelers signed Haskins to a one-year restricted free agent contract in March after he signed with the team in 2021 but did not see any playing time.
“I’ve wanted to be a quarterback my entire life. Being a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers is a dream. I always had great respect for the black and gold. Great respect for Coach (Mike) Tomlin, 15 seasons with no losing season. I want to show him that I want this bad. I want to be a leader. I want to be a guy that people can rely on, on and off the field to be more than just a guy that can throw a ball, talented enough to be in a position where I can execute at a high level and keep the Steelers way,” Haskins said in a release in March.
Haskins was originally drafted by the Washington Commanders as the No. 15 overall pick in 2019. Before he was released by Washington in 2020, he completed 267 of 444 pass attempts for 2,804 with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in two seasons, according to the Steelers.
Haskins played for Ohio State University and finished third in the Heisman Trophy race in 2018.
Haskins would have turned 25 on May 3.
