Washington

Washington spent the past four seasons in the Vikings front office, most recently as assistant general manager. With Minnesota moving on to a new front office, he was let go after Nolan Teasley was hired as general manager. Washington now joins the Commanders as senior personnel executive after previous incumbent Scott Fitterer left to join agency Athletes First. Commanders general manager Adam Peters previously worked with Washington in San Francisco’s front office from 2017-2021.

According to a report from NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, the Vikings parted ways with senior personnel executive Jamaal Stephenson, assistant director of college scouting Pat Roberts and pro scout Salli Clavelle as well. The moves come shortly after the team hired Nolan Teasley as its new general manager.

Washington joins new Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in Minnesota’s retooled front office. Washington served as the 49ers director of research and development -- a job once filled by Adofo-Mensah -- before taking the Minnesota VP of football operations job. Adofo-Mensah has clearly been given space to shape the team’s front office how he sees fit.
