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.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
