The Redskins and Senior VP of Football Operations Eric Schaffer have agreed to mutually part ways, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Schaffer spent nearly two decades with the club and was initially expected to stay, even after the hiring of Ron Rivera and the departure of Bruce Allen. 
Schaffer is well-respected around the league and Rapoport hears that he has already garnered interest from several other teams. Known to be an ace negotiator and a salary cap guru, he probably won’t be out of work for long.
Even Mike McCartney, the agent for Kirk Cousins, was quick to lavish Schaffer with praise after word broke:
“Schaffer will be a terrific asset to whichever NFL team hires him,” McCartney tweeted.
In other Redskins news, Rivera hired old friend Scott Turner to be his offensive coordinator earlier this week.
He did an awesome job helping us navigate the cap and maximize contracts and payroll. Odd decision but one that is part of the broader regime change.
