The Washington Commanders wrapped up the offseason on Thursday with the completion of their three-day mandatory minicamp. However, for two individuals, their time in Washington and in the NFL has wrapped up. Area scouts Paul Skansi and Chuck Cook are retiring, as the Commanders revealed on social media, and the team wished them well.
Both Skanski and Cook have been with Washington since 2017.
This is only part of the personnel movement for the Commanders this offseason. Earlier in the year, Tim Gribble departed the organization in January after over two decades in Washington. Gribble was the Commanders' director of college scouting. Gribble took a similar role with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is where he's from.
Washington later hired Ryan Kessenich away from the San Francisco 49ers to replace Gribble as the director of college scouting. The Commanders officially announced that move on Thursday, too.
Here is a full list of Washington's moves, which include personnel, player health and performance, and the /football support staff. Some are outside hires, while others are promotions.
Here's the full list:
There has been significant turnover throughout the organization since Josh Harris and his partners bought the team in July 2023, beginning with the hiring of GM Adam Peters in January 2024.
Here's this from Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic:
The Commanders were notoriously cheap under former owner Dan Snyder. Josh Harris has proven he will spare no expense in helping turn the franchise around, including spending in some of the most important areas.
