Since the days and weeks after the draft are the only acceptable time to do so, the Washington Redskins have shaken up their scouting department, as John Keim of the Washington Examiner reports that pro scout Donnie Warren will not return in 2010, and Rick Maese of the Washington Post adding that national scout Ross Bolinger has also been let go.

Warren, who turns 54 today, was a fourth-round pick (103rd overall) by the Redskins out of San Diego State in 1979. Warren spent 14 years as a tight end for the Redskins, catching 244 passes for 2,536 yards and 7 touchdowns in 193 regular seasons games. Warren added 25 receptions for 175 yards and a touchdown in 12 playoff games, including 7 receptions for 43 yards in the Redskins' two Super Bowl wins during the 1980s.

Warren re-joined the Redskins' organization as a scout in 2005.

Bolinger played guard and tackle for 10 years in the NFL, beginning his career as a third-round pick (86th overall) out of Long Beach State with the Detroit Lions, and finishing it with the Los Angeles Rams. The 55-year old Wichita, Kansas native spent nine seasons in the Lions' personnel department before joining the Redskins in 2005.

Contracts for scouts typically expire in early May, and it was to be expected that new general manager Bruce Allen and head coach Mike Shanahan would seek to bring in talent evaluators they're more familiar with.
