According to a report from NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay, the Washington Football Team has formally requested an interview with Ryan Cowden, the Tennessee Titans VP of Player Personnel.
Washington is interviewing Cowden to fill their General Manager role, which has been vacant since Ron Rivera took over as the head coach just over a year ago.
According to Finlay, Cowden has been in Tennessee since 2016, but he has a connection to Rivera after working with the Carolina Panthers in the years prior. With the Panthers, Cowden served as the Assistant Director of College Scouting.
After a season full of a coaching staff change in Washington, the only major hire to be made this offseason is at the GM position, where there are a number of candidates who are thought to be in the running. Among them are current Washington VP of Player Personnel, Kyle Smith, and former Carolina Panthers GM Marty Hurney.
