Washington is close to getting a new general manager.

Scot McCloughan, the former 49ers and Seahawks executive, is expected to be named the next G.M. in Washington. Although a league source tells PFT that the deal isn’t officially done yet, former Seahawk Michael Robinson wrote on Twitter that McCloughan told him he’s going to take the job. NFL Network confirmed that McCloughan is expected to take the job.

McCloughan resigned from the Seahawks in April to address what he referred to as “personal matters.” McCloughan has since acknowledged that his issues were related to alcohol abuse.

In recent days McCloughan has expressed interest in getting back into the league, and the interest was clearly mutual, as multiple teams contacted him. Now it appears that he’s found his new NFL home.
