The Redskins are casting a wide net in their search for a general manager, but they’re already finding that several top executives are not interested in working for them. Redskins officials are looking at some of the more successful teams in the league to find a highly qualified candidates, but several targets have already removed themselves from consideration, according to CBSSports.com’s Jason La Canfora. 
La Canfora doesn’t list specific names of execs who have been considered, but he hears that the search has included front office people with the Steelers, Seahawks, and Packers. I would speculate that the list of candidates could include Packers Director of Football Operations Eliot Wolf, Packers Director of Player Personnel Brian Gutekunst, and Seahawks co-Directors of Player Personnel Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner. However, based on what JLC is hearing, they might not have any interest in the job.
Front office guys from around the league have multiple concerns about the gig. It’s not clear who would really have the power in D.C. given the history of meddling from team president Bruce Allen and owner Dan Snyder. Furthermore, the team’s proposed GM salary is in the $1.5MM range, and that might not be enough money to make a top candidate overlook all of the red flags in Washington. There’s also concern about whether Snyder will be willing to pump the necessary resources into scouts and talent evaluators.
So far, former Bucs GM Mark Dominik and ex-Chargers GM A.J. Smith have been among the names linked to the opening, but JLC hears that neither guy is expected to land the job. Former Redskins quarterback Doug Williams and NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock have also been mentioned as possibilities. In the past, La Canfora has opined that Redskins executive Alex Santos would make a good internal candidate for the job and today he also put forth the name of Washington cap guru Eric Schaffer.
As we’ve heard previously, no hire will be made before the draft in late April, but JLC gets the sense that the Redskins also don’t want to let the process linger too far beyond the draft either.
Idk about online but there is a picture of a cheerleader for this story… seems fitting for the redskins.
Maybe they should hire the cheerleader pictured above?
Just my guess, but if a Steeler exec is being considered it would probably be Omar Khan. I don’t recall his exact title but he is the manager of the salary cap and is essentially the top assistant to Kevin Colbert, Director if Player Personnel (the Steelers use that title instead of General Manager). Khan was considered for a GM job last offseason, and I think the Steelers gave him a raise to keep him around.
agreed
Best part of the whole article
Nobody in their right mind should take that job with the 2 clowns above you,you would basically be handcuffed,just ask Scott!
Clowns in the circus of Daniel Snyder… two year old in a adult body
My vote is for the picture of the person on this story. Lord have mercy.
I felt like a Neanderthal when I saw the lady on the cover of this story.. but it feels much better to know that everyone else was thinking the same thing.
Ravens fan here, but I’m close enough to this dumpster fire of a franchise to make me get on my knees every night, thanking the Almighty that Snyder owns the Skins & not the Ravens. JLC used to be the Skins beat writer for the WAPO so his sources are good. Fans are at wits end here and writers are telling fans to drop the Skins & root for other local teams. The end of this nightmare is nowhere in sight.
I’m tired of the circus. We’re so jacked up. If you take a look at the coaches pictures. We have our new DL coach in a 49er’s shirt on the Washington Redskins website. How bad is that -simple detail.
I looked at the LA Rams coaching staff pics and everybody is properly uniformed in the pic.
The little things is a sample of a dysfunctional organization.
Eliot Wolf pulled out of consideration with the 49ers job a few months ago because of incompetent ownership. He’d be insane to show even an inkling of interest in the redskins job with Snyder running things. Thompson is keeping the seat warm for him in GB. Wolf ain’t going anywhere
What real exec would take this job? It’s actually worse than the Jets from a few years ago (and now) and worse than the Niners, somehow that is possible.
When you have an owner like Snyder throwing your GM under the bus after you fired him and refusing to give cousins a long term contract he deserves It shows the NFL and its fans just how incompetent the franchise really is. Jay gruden as coach is keeping them barely above water
Very nice article, totally what I wanted to find.
