The Washington Redskins and Senior VP of Football Operations Eric Schaffer agreed to part ways Thursday.
After the announcement, Redskins owner Dan Snyder issued a statement on the topic, per Lake Lewis Jr. of Sports Journey:
“I want to thank Eric Schaffer for his work and contributions over the past 17 years. He was dedicated to the team and the organization and we wish him all the best.”
The split was reportedly already set for May after the 2020 NFL Draft given the groundwork already put into the upcoming event.
That timeline has since been accelerated and Ron Rivera might’ve had some input there as he gets to work on the draft for his new team.
This move was one of a few different moves Monday that reshaped the Redskins front office on multiple fronts.
