Redskins' GM Scot McCloughan is not attending this year's combine due to what one source said is the loss of his 100-year-old grandmother.

"Redskins GM Scot McCloughan is not in attendance at this week's NFL Combine.

A team spokesman said McCloughan is "taking care of some family matters," but his absence will only add to speculation McCloughan is being pushed out in Washington. Team employee Chris Cooley recently started a rumor that McCloughan has been drinking, and multiple reports out of D.C. indicate McCloughan's power in the Redskins' front office has been reduced and/or stripped.'For the past two years, the Redskins had seemingly become a functional organization again on McCloughan's watch. Since the 2016 season ended, the dysfunction has returned and then some."

"It looks like rumors of Scott McCloughan relapsing on alcohol are true. The Redskins Front Office appears in disarray. If Cousins and his agents want to play hardball to get him out if there considering this current dysfunction, it's a wrap.

Report: McCloughan no longer running Skins

Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan in D.C. reports Redskins GM Scot McCloughan is no longer running the team.

Russell stated president Bruce Allen, coach Jay Gruden, scouts Alex Santos and Scott Campbell, and personnel executive Doug Williams have taken over. Williams has reportedly taken on an "increased role," likely at McCloughan's expense. McCloughan "has nothing to do with anything and has not for a very long time," according to Russell. McCloughan is allegedly missing the Combine due to the passing of his 100-year-old grandmother. Online records show McCloughan's grandmother passed away on February 6. The funeral occurred on February 13, and the woman was laid to rest the next day."

sounds like the house is burning down. Image if both Garcon and DeSean leave?
Scott is a great talent, but he has a serious issue with alcohol. I wish him all the best.
pretty sad bringing in the 100 year old dead grandma into the news to try and cover his problems
Yeah I'm not buying the 100 y/o grandmother excuse. Maybe she did die but if my 100 y/o grandmother died, I'd say she lived a damn good life.

It's clear McCloughan has done something to piss off the organization and it's probably that he was caught red handed with a half empty bottle of Jack!

This thing is looking worse by the day. Meanhwhile, SF organization is starting to get their sh*t together. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It could point to a chaotic situation that keeps Cousins there this year in order to keep some sense of cohesion.
I've poked fun of his issues with drinking before.

It's easy to pick a guy apart when he's down and dealing with personal issues.

Hope he gets the help he needs.
Grandma had a damn fine liquor cabinet...

All jokes aside, dude needs help. I hope he gets it. And i hope the 49ers land Cousins.
Poor guy. It isn't easy trying to beat that addictive gene. A team would be smart to hire him as an assistant GM where they can still function if he goes through a relapse. He just can't be the one running the show and the show going to s**t when he relapses.
