Disagree considering Bruce Allen gave a nice shout out to Mike Lombardi who works for NFP. Think you need to know a little more about who has sources and who does not before criticizing a specific media.

Fair enough but why are the major outlets mum on the news.

Because it is not widely known and won't be probably. Fact is, I doubt the Redskins would replace Zorn NOW. That would look worse then incompetent. Do I believe Shanny has signed a deal? No. Do I believe terms have verbally been agreed to? Yes. Do I expect an announcement any time soon? Nope. I believe the NFP probably has a well 'placed' source that heard the deal is done (verbally) and reported it. Besides, the one thing Snyder/Allen wanted to do was get Shanny underwraps before Phillips was fired in Dallas and a bidding war would start.
