The articles I’ve read say that Rivera will have control of the 2020 draft / FA, after which time they will hire a GM & a VP. Perhaps that means the GM or VP may come from the current Redskins executives that are left (such a Kyle Smith) or from the outside. I believe part of the reason Rivera wants control of the draft is to make sure Snyder doesn’t rebut in any promises he made to Rivera about too much involvement in personnel decisions.

I also saw articles /quotes that say he doesn’t want long-term personnel control. After this draft he’ll work with the new GM, who he will approve.

The 2020 draft is critical for Rivera because these players will be on his team the longest for his 5-year contract. Also, the #2 draft pick is a big decision - Chase or trading for draft picks.
