Report: Investigation into WFT trainer over possible prescription drug offenses
Posted by Curtis Crabtree on October 6, 2021, 11:05 PM EDT
Washington Football Team head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion was placed on administrative leave by the team after federal authorities conducted a raid of the team facility as part of a criminal investigation last week.
The Drug Enforcement Administration led the search into team headquarters last week and also conducted a search of Vermillion’s residence.
According to NBC Sports Washington, the impetus for the search was into the “possible diversion of prescription drugs” to people who did not legitimately need them.
“Ryan Vermillion has been placed on administrative leave due to an ongoing criminal investigation that is unrelated to the team,” the team said in a statement.
While the team has deferred to that statement on multiple occasions, head coach Ron Rivera did tell NBC Sports Washington “the only thing I can say about Ryan is, I know who Ryan is. Last year I trusted Ryan with my health, and I would do it again,” he said.
Rivera had a bout with cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, last year.
Vermillion was a part of Rivera’s staff with the Carolina Panthers as well before Rivera got the job in Washington last year. He had spent 18 years with the Panthers before following Rivera to D.C.

Washington Football Team places second trainer on administrative leave
Posted by Michael David Smith on October 9, 2021, 9:17 PM EDT
Another Washington Football Team trainer has been placed on leave amid an investigation that saw federal agents raid the team facility.
Washington assistant athletic trainer Doug Quon has been placed on administrative leave, according to John Keim of ESPN. That comes just days after Washington put head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion on leave amid a DEA investigation.
The investigation reportedly centers around the distribution of prescription drugs.
The NFL Players’ Association said in a statement this week that it is seeking more information about the investigation and whether the issues involved in the investigation could have compromised player health and safety.

Lawyers representing the Washington Football Team offered a financial settlement this year in exchange for the silence of female former team employees who allege they endured sexual harassment while working there, according to two former employees.
No specific figure was discussed, but the offer was expected to be “disrespectfully low,” said Emily Applegate, a former marketing coordinator who was the first to publicly speak out about her experiences while working with the team last year in a Washington Post report. The offer was conveyed by attorneys representing the team at Reed Smith law firm, through discussions with Lisa Banks, the lead attorney for female former team employees.
Banks, who represents nearly 40 former team employees, told Applegate and the others that, in exchange for the money, they would have to sign nondisclosure agreements and agree to stop doing news interviews and posting on social media about their experiences while working for the team.
“It was pretty easy for us to say no. That wasn’t the purpose for why we said anything,” Applegate said in a phone interview Wednesday.
Banks, in an interview, declined to comment on the negotiations she had with the team’s attorneys. She did not dispute Applegate’s description of the offer, which was supported by Megan Imbert, a former producer in the team’s broadcast department.
“They were upset about our social media presence and press,” said Imbert, summarizing the message she said was conveyed by Banks. “We turned it down because we see the bigger picture and we have always been after meaningful change, both within the organization and across the league.”
The settlement offer was made in February, Applegate and Imbert said, during a lull in activity in the NFL’s investigation of allegations of pervasive sexual harassment and mistreatment of female team employees during Snyder’s tenure as owner. Imbert and Applegate viewed the offer as an attempt by the team to ensure their silence and minimize the fallout when the NFL’s investigation, overseen by attorney Beth Wilkinson, concluded and its findings were publicly announced. The offer would not have blocked them from speaking to investigators, the women said.
“It just felt like they wanted to bury this and shut us up,” Imbert said.
What the women didn’t know at the time is that no findings from Wilkinson’s investigation would be released publicly by her or the NFL, including what she concluded about Snyder’s role in the culture described by employees or about allegations raised regarding his own conduct, including an alleged incident on his private plane in 2009 that resulted in a $1.6 million settlement with a female former team employee.
Outrage among Applegate, Imbert and others over the NFL’s handling of the investigation was reignited this week when emails Wilkinson obtained as part of her work, reported on by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, showed Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden making racist and homophobic remarks. Gruden resigned Monday.
Wilkinson obtained Gruden’s emails — sent several years ago, when he worked for ESPN as an analyst — because they were sent to Bruce Allen, the longtime former Washington team president Snyder fired in 2019. Allen has declined to comment about Gruden’s emails.
On Wednesday, Applegate, Imbert and eight other former team employees sent a public letter to the chief executives of major NFL sponsors including Nike, Amazon and PepsiCo, requesting they insist the league release detailed findings from the Wilkinson investigation.
“The many survivors who had come forward in good faith to share their experiences deserved to understand the truth, and to know that their participation was meaningful and reflected in the findings,” wrote the former employees, who accused Goodell of “deliberately burying the findings of the investigation."
”The consequence of Mr. Goodell’s decisions around this investigation, and the lack of any meaningful action against Dan Snyder, is to tell women and survivors everywhere: ‘You and your experiences do not matter to the NFL — especially if those experiences potentially expose the misdeeds of a very wealthy owner,’" the employees wrote.

Sean Taylor’s brother claims he got short notice of jersey retirement
Posted by Mike Florio on October 16, 2021, 8:00 AM EDT
When it comes to the sudden news that Washington safety Sean Taylor’s jersey will be retired on Sunday, two possible explanations apply to the timing of the announcement, which was made only three days before the event.
One, the team set things up well in advance and deliberately chose, for whatever reason, to delay the announcement until roughly 72 hours before the game. Two, the team hastily arranged for the Sean Taylor jersey retirement as a distraction from the withering criticism arising from the persistent failure to disclose 650,000 emails from a workplace misconduct investigation that already have been weaponized against Jon Gruden and Jeff Pash.
Sean Taylor’s brother, Gabe, told 106.7 The Fan on Friday that he found out about the event roughly four days earlier. The tweets from 106.7 The Fan don’t address whether the rest of the family received such short notice, but the short notice received by Gabe Taylor suggests that this isn’t something that was in the works for weeks and weeks.
The simplest explanation is that this was thrown together quickly. The idea that the team would decide to retire Taylor’s jersey and hide that information makes no sense, because this is the kind of thing that will sell more tickets. Common sense suggests that the announcement would have been made a long time ago. Common sense suggests that, given the late notice, the event was slapped together quickly. Common sense suggests that, indeed, it was and is a bright shiny object at a time when the franchise is reeling from the renewed focus on its longstanding culture of workplace misconduct.
As our friend Big Cat likes to say, dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things. Despite the many positive changes made to the organization in the past 20 months, plenty of dysfunction lingers. And it’s still trickling down from the very top.

By this point in the NFL season, Washington Football Team Coach Ron Rivera appears to have found a rhythm during his Monday afternoon news conferences, which four times have taken place after a loss and a defensive disappointment. He discusses what ails the unit — missed tackles, blown coverages — and insists it will get better soon. Last week, he seemed defiant, insisting the unit was only a few plays from its potential with no need to change the coaching staff, lineup or scheme.
This Monday, however, Rivera sounded more concerned. He seemed to be disheartened by the team’s lack of resiliency in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, particularly following Dustin Hopkins’s missed field goal and Montez Sweat’s neutral zone infraction on a third down during a critical sequence.
Rivera also, directly for the first time, implicated himself in Washington’s poor start. He said the lack of discipline evident on Sweat’s penalty “falls on me” and added he may need to change his approach. When asked specifically how, he was vague, saying, “There are some things that, as far as coaching is concerned, there are certain ways to approach it.”
Rivera didn’t seem to view other potential changes for his 2-4 team as urgent. He expressed confidence in quarterback Taylor Heinicke despite recent struggles — “Not every week’s going to be as productive as people want it to be or as we want it to be,” Rivera said — and said he hasn’t considered turning to backup Kyle Allen. But in the big picture, Rivera seems to feel players haven’t heard him. The coach has harped on maturity and urgency since the preseason, but when asked why a lack of discipline still seems to be a problem for his team, he noted the message hasn’t reached his players effectively.
You got to be able to practice in pads, and we didn’t practice in pads this past week,” he said. “A lot of it had to do with, again, the injury list. And so that’s an unfortunate detail we got to fix.”

There play is defiantely one of the bigger disapointments of the season so far.
About eight months after Landon Collins declared he would never switch from safety to linebacker, Washington Football Team Coach Ron Rivera told him he had to. Rivera said he spoke to Collins about playing the position last week and this week — though, at least in public, Rivera has been careful not to use the word “linebacker,” instead describing the new role as “downhill” or “box.”
“He and I talked about it, and one of the things he expressed is he’s a safety; he loves playing safety,” Rivera said. “One of the things I expressed to him is we really believe he’s a downhill player. He’s an impact guy attacking at the line of scrimmage.”
Collins said this doesn’t change how he views himself — “I am a safety” — but that, as a team player, he’s willing to sacrifice pride for production.
“Do I like playing linebacker? No. I don’t like hitting big linemen and getting big linemen off me. I’m undersized for being a linebacker,” said Collins, who is listed at 6-foot and 218 pounds. “So, yeah, I don’t want to play down there, but if need to, yeah, I’ll do so. I’m good at it.”
On Monday, after Washington collapsed in the second half against Kansas City, Rivera criticized his own coaching and shouldered some blame for the team’s disappointing 2-4 start. He suggested he’d be more proactive in addressing the squad’s struggles and followed it up by cutting longtime kicker Dustin Hopkins and challenging Collins. The 27-year-old is the league’s second-most expensive safety this season, with a $16.9 million salary cap hit and almost certainly will not remain in Washington beyond this season under his current contract, which includes base salaries of at least $15.2 million through 2025.

Washington coach Ron Rivera said Chase Young tore his ACL in Week 10 and will miss the remainder of the 2021 season.
Young went down with a non-contact injury in the second quarter of Washington's Week 10 game versus the Bucs. He was in an immense amount of pain and had to be carted off the field, foreshadowing the eventual ACL injury. The Football Team defense has struggled to live up to the hype this year and they'll continue to slip without their star defensive end. Young ends his second pro season with 1.5 sacks and a pair of forced fumbles.

Robert Griffin III writing “explosive tell-all” book about “dysfunctional” Washington Football Team
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 30, 2021, 12:46 PM EST
Robert Griffin III is promising to hit the Washington Football Team hard with a new book about his experiences with the franchise.
Griffin announced today that he’s writing a book with veteran sports writer Gary Myers titled Surviving Washington, and the published is describing the book as an “explosive tell-all” about “the shocking mismanagement and toxic culture within the most dysfunctional professional football team in America.”
In announcing the book, Griffin said he will delve into the “medical mismanagement” of the knee injury that ended his outstanding rookie season in a playoff loss, as well as information about the sexual harassment scandal that continues to affect the team, and what he calls a “toxic environment” overseen by owner Daniel Snyder.
The second overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, Griffin won the Offensive Rookie of the Year award but never replicated his rookie success. He has been out of the league this season, and he may now figure that his NFL career is over and he’s free to say everything on his mind — much of which will not reflect well on Snyder and the Washington Football Team.
