Mike Mayock, internal candidates in running for Redskins GM

The most important talent-evaluating period of the NFL Calendar is upon us, and the Washington Redskins don’t have a general manager.

The Redskins officially fired former general manager Scot McCloughan on Thursday, but McCloughan had been marginalized from his duties for weeks.

In that time, a brain trust led by President Bruce Allen has been making all the team’s personnel decisions. Eventually, though, the Redskins will need to hire a replacement for McCloughan to be the next general manager, and candidate names have started to emerge.
