Newsbreakers
January 12, 2010
According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Redskins have hired former Rams head coach Jim Haslett as their new defensive coordinator.

Our View:Haslett spent last season coaching the UFL runner-up Florida Tuskers, so he has to be ecstatic to get back to the NFL. He'll join head coach Mike Shanahan as a fresh face in D.C. and is expected to be running a 3-4 defense. Something that Haslett is familiar with from his days with the Steelers. Looks like the Redskins are going for a full makeover.

Former Redskins running backs coach Stump Mitchell, who is no longer with the team and will serve as the head coach at Southern University next year, took shots at Clinton Portis on Monday, saying that Portis should have worked much harder in his preparation, according to the Washington Post.

Our View:This does not come as good news to Portis, who already has a lot of career carries on his legs and is coming off an injury-riddled season. While it'd certainly come as a shock if Mike Shanahan and the new Redskins' staff parted ways with Portis, he doesn't appear to be a 100 percent lock to maintain his roster spot.
January 5, 2010
According to the Denver Post, the Redskins and Mike Shanahan have agreed on a deal that will make him the new head coach of the team.

Our View:The deal is expected to be worth about $7 million a year for five years, and he will sign the contract and be introduced on Wednesday. Original reports said he would earn $10 million per, so it appears the Skins got a bit of a bargain. Shanahan will continue to be paid an additional $3.5 million by the Broncos for the next two years as well. Lucky guy.
January 5, 2010
According to the Washington Post, Clinton Portis will make his final visit to a concussion specialist next week.

Our View:Portis is locked up for next year with the Skins and apparently he feels like he's moved past the concussion issues. He's expected to be ready to start working out to prep for next season and Washington will likely try and get another year out of him as their feature back. Prospective fantasy owners beware.
January 3, 2010
The Washington Post reports that the Washington Redskins will hire Mike Shannahan to be their head coach within the next few days. The report also notes that the team has to re-interview secondary coach Jerry Gray to satisfy the Rooney Rule.

Our View:That means Jim Zorn will be fired shortly after today's game. The 'Skins have been talking to Shannahan for a few weeks and they hope he will bring some stability to an organization that has seen numerous personnel changes this decade.
