No offense but my understanding is that what you said is untrue. Why is AJ just a consultant? Because Allen is calling the personnel shots much more actively than "final approval."

Mike Shanahan left a personnel power vacuum and Allen filled it.

I was speaking about my future scenario, not the current situation. AJ is an team executive, more than a consultant. No one outside of Redskins Park knows really what he does for the team.

I think this is how they will adjust the front office.

I think that would be an improvement over what we have now. We had a lot of injuries this year, but I would still say Allen's first FA class was pretty bad, and the draft class is at best mediocre. I'm fine with Allen doing contracts, but he shouldn't be the guy calling the personnel shots.
