Cerrato has power inside the Redskins because he has proximity to Snyder. He has no power independently and yes, he mainly exists so Snyder will have someone to yell at, but we can't assume that his opinions do not greatly affect Snyder's thinking. Now, Snyder ceded most of the power to Gibbs, but I think he still weighs in. So Cerrato has limited influence indirectly, IMO.

I think the problems with the front office are more fundamental. The Redskins have pro scouts whose job is to evaluate FA just like there are college scouts for the draft and UDFA. Why no one has been fired over the A.A. debacle is beyond me. We need some new scouts.
