Redskins hire former Panthers exec Rogers, Schaffer leaves. MORE:
ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins made their latest move Thursday in an organizational overhaul by hiring former Carolina Panthers executive Rob Rogers as senior vice-president of football administration.
Rogers fills a void left by Schaffer's somewhat surprising exit. Schaffer was widely considered a strong candidate for a bigger role after the firing of president Bruce Allen but now will be looking for a new NFL job after 17 seasons with Washington. Upon taking the job, Rivera hired former Raiders and Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio as defensive co-ordinator and on Wednesday hired Scott Turner as offensive co-ordinator. The son of former Redskins coach Norv Turner worked as quarterbacks coach under Rivera with the Panthers.
