The Washington Redskins have fired general manager Scot McCloughan, ending a tense period during which McCloughan did not attend the NFL Combine and has apparently not been involved in free-agent decisions.
Here is a statement from Redskins Team President Bruce Allen:
“The Washington Redskins have released Scot McCloughan from the organization effective immediately. We wish him success in his future endeavors. The team will have no further comment on his departure. The organization remains confident in our personnel department as we execute our free agency plans as well as prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft.
