Redskins Bruce Allen denies Cousins trad

[lovelystyle]

The Redskins with moves like and reportedly . Despite the obvious dysfunction in the franchise, president Bruce Allen claims that everything is going just fine. More on Redskins Allen, speaking to Washington-area reporters at the owners meetings in Phoenix on Sunday night, explained why he decided to fire ex-GM Scot McCloughan.At the beginning of the league Robert Bortuzzo Kids Jersey  year, we needed some clarity, .Every , with McCloughan coming in, helping the Redskins find succe s and Allen unwilling to stand by while he received credit. No one can agree how to handle  contract and the result was a boondoggle of succe sive franchise tags.  Allen denied the power struggle saying he and McCloughan on are on the same page.Ive heard all this different speculation, Allen said. Thats ridiculous. Scot and I have had conversations before the firing . Were on the same page.Theres a personal  Colton Parayko Jersey side in that I brought him to the Redskins and hoped for, obviously, not just a different outcome but a better situation for him and for the Redskins. Yeah, that hurts. I do wish him the best. I like Scot. It feels like our friendship obviously will be strained.  You think?Its po sible McCloughan agrees with Allen that he needed to part ways with the franchise (while also understanding if he leaves he might not get another chance at a job). But to say that their friendship might be strained might be the understatement of the century. , Allen again used the word clarity, which means its probably the key talking point the Redskins PR staff wants you to hear, since it was used twice in different individual sitdowns.I thought it was the right thing to do for where we were at the time, Allen said. We wanted to give clarity to our free agents and to our staff of where we were going. For Scot,  Tyler Bozak Jersey it was good timing because it allows him to be hired by anyone right now before this draft.  As for the other big piece of the puzzle, Cousins, Allen denied that theres any major rift between the franchise and the quarterback -- it was reported that  -- and that any rumors about trading Cousins are just that, rumors.I cant keep up with the rumors, . Kirk and I have talked almost a dozen times this offseason, and we get to laugh when we hear these different rumors. We havent talked to anyone.Allen also emphasized that the Redskins are still trying to hammer out a deal with Cousins before the July 15  Chris Thorburn Jersey deadline to sign players who were given the franchise tag.  Our goal from the beginning has been long-term, Allen said. Im still hopeful and confident well do it.So this is Allens team now, with him having taking over  Magnus Paajarvi Kids Jersey the GM responsibilities as well, while acknowledging there might be a couple people brought in as well after the draft.Washington is  according to CBS Sports Insider Jason La Canfora, but its pretty clear that whoever comes in will be working directly under Allen while utilizing the players Allen selected in this upcoming draft.  Things feel a little calmer right now, mainly because someone is talking and were a little removed from the insanity of that initial free agency stretch, but maybe its all relative. Theres still a lot up in the air with the Redskins.
