Vinny Cerrato Resigns

Vinny Cerrato Resigns Breaking news :- Vinny Cerrato resigns as Redskins executive vice-president.

Vinny Cerrato, the much-maligned Washington Redskins executive vice-president of football operations, resigned this morning, nearly two years after becoming the organization’s de facto general manager.

The timing of the resignation is strange, but what else would you expect from the Redskins front office? It likely means that Snyder has a beat on Mike Holmgren or Bill Cowher and Mike Shanahan and wants to strike now while he still can. Dragging his feet is only going to lead to getting a guy he doesn’t really want, sort of like what happened two years ago when he was forced to hire Jim Zorn against his will.

What this means for Zorn is anyone’s guess. Cerrato hired him so you’d figure this would be it for him, but if Holmgren comes to D.C., could he play Parcells to Zorn’s Tony Sparano?

Those are all questions for later though. For now, all Redskins fans need to care about is the fact that Vinny Cerrato is finally gone.
