Redskins will meet with fired GM

-

Scot McCloughan and the Redskins will meet again in Washington on Monday for the hearing that will determine whether the former general manager can recoup the remaining $2.8 million that was left on his contract when the team fired him in March. The Redskins will argue that they fired McCloughan after his second season with the team for cause. At the time of the breakup, a person familiar with the thinking of owner Daniel Snyder and team president Bruce Allen said McCloughan was fired because of a drinking problem. McCloughan is a recovering alcoholic. Both sides have already presented evidence through deposition, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. They spoke to USA TODAY on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the subject.
