The Washington Commanders on Wednesday named Lance Newmark as assistant GM, reporting directly to Peters. Newmark joins Washington after spending the past 26 years with the Detroit Lions, the previous two serving as senior director of player personnel.
The Washington Commanders have finalized their coaching staff by hiring former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson and several others. The moves announced Thursday, many of them previously reported, fill out new coach Dan Quinn's staff a day after general manager Adam Peters hired Lance Newmark to be assistant GM. Johnson, who was fired after one season in charge of the Eagles offense, takes over as assistant head coach and offensive pass game coordinator.
