Report: Former Redskins GM McCloughan back in scouting business

Former Washington Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan - fired on the first day of free agency - is back running a scouting service, a position he held before he joined the 'Skins two years ago.

"He had a scouting service before he became the general manager of the Redskins, and, according to sources, he is back running that scouting service and has advised NFL teams on his thoughts on the draft prospects eligible for the draft this year," Mike Garafolo said Thursday on NFL Network.

"Now he's not giving up Redskins information, he's only giving up his own evaluations. He is free to do that."

McCloughan had well publicized bouts with alcoholism at previous stops with the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, and relapses were cited as reasons for his dismissal from the Redskins.
