The Scot McCloughan situation

Redskins GM Scot McCloughan is not in attendance at this week's NFL Combine.

A team spokesman said McCloughan is "taking care of some family matters," but his absence will only add to speculation McCloughan is being pushed out in Washington. Team employee Chris Cooley recently started a rumor that McCloughan has been drinking, and multiple reports out of D.C. indicate McCloughan's power in the Redskins' front office has been reduced and/or stripped. For the past two years, the Redskins had seemingly become a functional organization again on McCloughan's watch. Since the 2016 season ended, the dysfunction has returned and then some.

Redskins GM Scot McCloughan told the Washington Post's Mike Jones he is not attending the NFL Combine due to a "death in the family."

No further details are available. An NFL general manager missing the Combine is extremely uncommon under any circumstance, but McCloughan's absence is now more understandable. The Redskins have still shed little light on McCloughan's current status with the team and role in the organization. In early February, the Washington Post reported team president Bruce Allen "put McCloughan on notice," and is "breathing down his neck" after the Redskins missed the playoffs due to a Week 17 loss to the Giants.

Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan in D.C. reports Redskins GM Scot McCloughan was "sent home" and "told not to return for now" on February 20.

McCloughan personally told the Washington Post he isn't at the Combine due to a "death in the family," and the Redskins announced McCloughan isn't in Indy because he's "taking care of some family matters." It's believed McCloughan's grandmother passed away. On Wednesday night, Russell cited "reliable sources" in reporting McCloughan hasn't been at Redskins Park for over a week. Hopefully, the team will shed more light on the situation in the next few days.

CSN Mid-Atlantic's J.P. Finlay reports Redskins GM Scot McCloughan's grandmother "passed away last month," and her death was "not a surprise for the family."

In other words, the death of McCloughan's grandmother was not sudden and a situation that would prevent him from doing his job. Perhaps someone else close to McCloughan passed away more recently, but any NFL GM's absence from the Combine is notable regardless of circumstance. And especially in McCloughan's case with so many rumors circulating about his health and role in Washington.

Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan in D.C. reports Redskins GM Scot McCloughan has lost all power in the organization.

Reporting live on air, Russell stated president Bruce Allen, coach Jay Gruden, and scouts Alex Santos and Scott Campbell, and personnel executive Doug Williams are now running the team. McCloughan "has nothing to do with anything and has not for a very long time," according to Russell. McCloughan allegedly has been setting up the funeral for his grandmother. Online records show that McCloughan's 100-year-old grandmother passed away on February 6. The funeral occurred on February 13, and the woman was buried the next day.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
