Redskins | Bruce Allen has control over team

Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen said he now has control over the team after the club fired head coach Mike Shanahan. Allen will also have more control over personnel decisions, but he will work with director of player personnel Scott Campbell and director of pro personnel Morocco Brown. ‘We are going to redefine some of the characteristics that we’re looking for in players,’ Allen said. ‘Obviously when we have a new head coach there will be some schematic adjustments that we will make, but that power will be with me.’

Raiders | Future QB on roster?

Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen isn’t sure if the team’s future quarterback is currently on their roster. Allen has said QB Matt McGloin has a future with the team but hasn’t been as optimistic about QB Terrelle Pryor. ‘I’m not sure that we have the quarterback of the future in the building right now, but again I think we’ll go through the offseason evaluation process, I think we’ll go back through all the tapes, we’ll comb through everything. I do think we have a better idea of what we have at the quarterback position, but again I think, listen, that’s the most important position on the football field,’ Allen said.
