It was largely expected that the Washington Redskins were going to fill their general manager vacancy internally. After parting ways with Scot McCloughan in March, the Redskins operated without a general manager. Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden helped to run the show while there was not a GM, but they needed to add another executive to help manage player evaluation.
So on Tuesday, the Redskins announced changes to their front office to help replace that vacancy. While they did not give anyone the official title of general manager, they promoted a few people to higher level positions to complete tasks that would normally be completed by the GM.
