A.J. Smith to be Redskins GM?

Bruce doesn't need to be removed from having the responsibility for this to work favorably for the Redskins. Any good manager recognizes his own shortcomings and hires people to help fill the gaps.

Bruce could hire AJ Smith or Scott McCloughan (or both) and let them make the draft picks and free agency recommendations. Bruce could empower them to do that.

Then Bruce could remain in the position of negotiating contracts. AJ Smith could say hey we need to sign X player and Bruce could handle the negotiations, which has been a strength if you're evaluating him fairly. Look at the DJax contract, no risk, high reward.

So let AJ Smith or Scott McCloughan pick the players, but don't let them pick the price. I think it could work really well.
