They're more likely asking him to sign a new contract. If he retires he's still a 22M hit to the salary cap.
I think Haskins is a no risk "value" move. Bring him in. See how he does. If he looks good, keep him. If not, cut him loose in the preseason. He can't be worse than Mason Rudolph.
My personal preference would be the Steelers making a move for Jalen Hurts. But I do think Haskins can be a good QB. The guy only played one year of college ball and they make him the 15th pick in the draft and then make him a starter?
