The Facts: The Washington Football Team has hired a new general manager. The franchise has hired San Francisco 49ers executive Martin Mayhew to serve in the position, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday. The team later made the news official. Marty Hurney, who was previously reported to be finalizing a deal to become GM, will now be the Executive Vice President of Football/Player Personnel, Rapoport added.

Diehards Line: Hurney and Mayhew will report to coach Ron Rivera, who remains in control of the football operation. Mayhew, an NFL exec since 2001, will step into his second stint as a GM, with his first coming while with the Detroit Lions. After serving as senior director of football administration for three years before moving on to senior vice president and assistant GM duties from 2004-08, Mayhew was elevated to the role of GM in 2008 and remained in the position until 2015. Hurney was a public relations intern for Washington back in the late 80s. He served as Carolina’s G.M. for a second time starting in 2017 on an interim basis before getting the permanent job in 2018 — working alongside Rivera until he was fired in 2019. In another organization-altering move, Jennifer King is going to become a full-time offensive assistant after spending last season as a coaching intern, Rapoport reported. King will be the first full-time African-American female coach in NFL history.
