The Redskins arbitration case vs former GM Scot McCloughan has finally concluded, and Washington has won their case. McCloughan was fired for cause before the NFL Combine last year. There were reports that McCloughan was abusing alcohol on the job, which was one of the reasons for his release from the Redskins. The former NFL executive has been plagued by alcohol issues at his former jobs with the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
McCloughan had sought payment of the roughly $2.8 million remaining on his four-year contract when the team dismissed him with 22 months remaining on his deal.
