Redskins to wait until after NFL Draft to hire general manager

Redskins now are planning to wait until after the draft to hire a general manager, per league sources. The team’s thinking is that it still has people in place for now, though anyone in the front office is in jeopardy after the draft and there will be more changes.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Washington Redskins are waiting to hire a new general manager until after the NFL Draft.

The reason for this is that the team is reportedly aiming to keep the front office intact for now in order to continue the predraft and pre-free agency process that has been taking place for the last several months within the organization. Many scouts and cap analysts have been working on a plan for the team, and it wouldn’t make sense for the team to start from square one so soon before both of those periods start.

However, once the draft and free agency is over, there will reportedly be more changes in the building.
