On February 22, 2003, Haskins signed a free-agent contract with the Edmonton Eskimos. However, a month later, Haskins suffered from a benign brain tumor the size of an orange which was removed.
As a result, Haskins did not suit up for a single game for the Eskimos. Despite that, the Eskimos honoured his contract for the 2003 season.
In March 2004, Haskins was released by the Eskimos.
Despite vowing to return to professional football after recovering from the tumor, Haskins decided to retire.
