Report: Bruce Allen to be relieved of football operation duties on Monday

The Redskins could choose to limit Bruce Allen in his reach soon, taking away his ability to make roster decisions in Washington.

A new report has surfaced within Washington that the Redskins team president Bruce Allen will be relieved of his football operations duties within a few days.

According to NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay, multiple sources have informed him that Allen will likely have a number of decision-making duties taken away from him on Monday, following the Redskins final game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys.

As the team president, Allen’s role expands beyond just football operations duties, but this reported shift will make it so that he is no longer in charge of roster decisions that affect the product on the field.

This is a developing story as Allen’s role within the organization runs beyond just football and it’s unclear what other changes will happen but the immediate news is that after a decade in charge of the Redskins on the field Allen will no longer serve that role.

Should owner Dan Snyder and the Redskins choose to limit Allen’s role, or get rid of him altogether, a number of other changes might be on the horizon, as the team also looks to fill the void at the head coaching position.
