How can playing a fun game professionally for a lot of money go so wrong?
Everyone is making a shit ton of money from the owner, GM, Coach all the way down to the kicker. So, how can the Redskins ownership, FO, Coaching staff create a work environment that has become so toxic?
For example:
My understanding is when the Redskins were recently trying to sign Wade Phillips as new Defensive Coordinator he declined. We all heard this:

"According to sources, Phillips was “very concerned about the Redskins overall lack of talent” on the defensive side of the ball. The Redskins, per the source, strongly believe they are only “two or three starters” from fielding a very competitive defense if all their players can remain healthy and get on the field."

An additional source familiar with the situation between the Redskins and Phillips states that Phillips had asked the Redskins front office for assurances that the defense will be a top priority in free agency and the draft. In turn, the Redskins shared more information about future plans than normal because “they wanted to complete the deal before another team acted."
That optimism wasn’t enough to sway Phillips who will now run a defense loaded with talent in Los Angeles and headed by new head coach Sean McVay.

Thanks for reminding me of this. Jay Gruden is our only savior remaining in the FO, and I'm still not sold on him because he went with Greg Manusky as d-coordinator. If that move fails to pan out we are literally boned.
