There have been no real changes when it comes to the men that were hired to work in the front office for the Washington Football Team this week, other than the fact that their titles were reversed.
It was reported earlier this week that Marty Hurney would become the new GM in Washington, while Martin Mayhew would hold a high-ranking executive role as well. Now we are learning that it will actually be Mayhew that will hold the GM title, while Hurney will be involved as a high-ranking executive in the front office. Both men have held numerous executive and general manager roles in the NFL before.
Means Mayhew would join the Falcons' Terry Fontenot, the Lions' Brad Holmes, the Dolphins’ Chris Grier and the Browns' Andrew Berry as the fifth Black general manager in the NFL.
Should also mention, Washington now has first front office featuring a Black team president and GM. https://t.co/77nHsRRBex
