Trouble in Redskins Park?

I am not saying I assume everything is OK. But I am saying that I'd prefer to work off of fact. I know -- radical idea these days.


So the fact that Scot McCloughan had a gag order put on him isn't a cause for concern? A GM can't speak at the Senior Bowl? Can't speak at the NFL Combine? Doesn't even show up to the NFL Combine? Meanwhile, Bruce Allen uses the excuse of a grandmother dying as the reason why McCloughan is still home, yet granny died a few weeks ago? You think it takes over three weeks to get back to work from bereavement?

How about those facts?

I just don't understand how you miss the combine. It doesn't make sense.

Exactly. How does your GM who lives for the draft not go to the combine? He's gone and it's a shame. Just really hope that once he's out that we don't go back to doing business the old way. I can't stomach that shit anymore.

Is the gag order a known fact? I know it has been reported, but has anyone actually confirmed it? And do you profess to know anything about the memorial arrangements for his grandmother? I don't. And with all due respect, I doubt you do either. It isn't entirely unprecedented for memorial services to take place some number of weeks after someone dies -- I am headed to one on March 16 for someone who passed away on February 24.

But by all means -- let's all panic and assume the worst here.

The man in your avatar might be in for a promotion. who knows? I think the Redskins definitely need a GM/Head of Player Personnel guy not named Bruce Allen.

LOL!!! Yes, it's been confirmed that the gag order was put in place. Bruce Allen himself said that Scot would no longer be speaking to the media. Secondly, it was a 100 year old grandmother. What do you think?

It is the Redskins by all means, a person assuming the worse is rarely disappointed since Snyder bought the team. Also Scottie Mac has drank himself out of two jobs where he had success.

Ignore all my prior posts: We're f_cked, the McCloughan era is over, no FAs will sign with us for that reason, and as a direct consequence we will revert to a sub.500 team for the next few decades.

I realize that you often have inside information (if memory serves, you work with the team or did at one point), and I respect your views a lot. And it is impossible to disagree with your statement about the importance of the combine -- it's really self-evident. I just don't want to speculate and assume the worst here; after 20 years of doing that (with reason), I am hoping for a level of respectability for this franchise and for a reasonable, non-doomsday explanation.

Covered the team. Offered jobs multiple times with them, but never worked for them

Appearing on 106.7 The Fan in D.C., the Washington Post's Mike Jones referred to NFL Network's "report" of a three-way trade involving Kirk Cousins, Tony Romo, and the 49ers as "fake."

Jones seems to believe Redskins president Bruce Allen used NFL Network's Ian Rapoport as a mouthpiece to spread the rumor as a misinformation tactic with the Redskins embroiled in front-office drama. Ultimately, the Redskins decided giving Jay Gruden a two-year extension would be better P.R. "Bruce was like, alright we gotta do something because my fake Ian Rapoport Redskins three-way trade thing didn't work to change the story." Jones suggested the Redskins are now seen as so dysfunctional NFL agents are wary of their players signing with Washington because they're unaware of who's in charge. GM Scot McCloughan did not attend the Combine and is expected to be let go after April's draft.


just wow

Appearing on 106.7 The Fan in D.C., the Washington Post's Mike Jones stated the Redskins and GM Scot McCloughan are "headed to a divorce."

Jones essentially stated that Jay Gruden's two-year extension was a P.R. move amid organizational chaos. "And that's the sad thing, because Scot is such a good dude," said Jones. "Loves football. Eats, drinks, sleeps it. You talk to guys who've worked with him in the league, and all he does is watch football and unfortunately drink. There's frictions that are going on there between him and (team president) Bruce Allen ... some type of blowup. This thing is headed to a divorce." Jones guessed McCloughan's exit will be made official after April's draft.

All I do besides work is drink beer and watch sports. If Bruce Allen has that much pull over the GM he should just be the GM. Who else is going to want to come in if GM is just a title but Allen still calls all the shots.

FAKE NEWS!!!! I don't believe nothing I read anymore without serious doubts... I love it when these so called sports reporters leak out all this info and 99% of it is BS!! Truth is there are probably only 4 people that really know whats going on with Scott..it is Snyder,Allen,Gruden and Scott. same with Cousins . we will know when we know.
