Commanders Appoint Lance Newmark as Assistant GM in Front Office Overhaul

The restructuring aims to rejuvenate the team, with Newmark joining from the Lions and key executives transitioning to advisory roles.

The Washington Commanders have appointed Lance Newmark, previously the Lions' senior director of player personnel, as their new assistant general manager.
Martin Mayhew transitions to senior personnel executive/advisor, and Marty Hurney moves to an advisory role, marking a significant reshuffle in the Commanders' front office.
The restructuring aims to bolster the Commanders' return to their winning ways, following the hiring of Adam Peters as the new general manager and Dan Quinn as head coach.
Newmark's hiring is part of a broader strategy to leverage experience from successful NFC teams, as he contributed to the Lions' recent rise to NFC contender status.
The Commanders face a critical decision with the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft, as they look to build a championship-caliber team under the new leadership.
