Among his many accomplishment and skills throughout his 14 years with the Redskins, it might be Eric Schaffer’s notetaking abilities that stand out the most to the front office staff.
At least twice, Schaffer said somewhat jokingly, following his promotion as Senior Vice President of Football Operations a couple weeks ago, Redskins team president Bruce Allen has told him it’s his greatest asset. But teasing or not, it has certainly given him an advantage as someone who serves multiple roles at the same time.
While he will now take on more of a leadership and oversight position within the organization, Schaffer continues to be an integral part in various divisions, including remaining the club’s chief contract negotiator – an area of prime focus over the next few weeks as the deadline for a long-term deal with Kirk Cousins approaches.
