Rivera to Meet with Redskins Monday

As soon as the Redskins locked up the No. 2 overall pick on Sunday night in a blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Redskins officially moved on their future.

Redskins Maven and SI.com sources confirmed that former Panthers coach Ron Rivera will meet with the Redskins on Monday. The story was initially reported by NFL Network.

Sources confirm to @granthpaulsen and @Russellmania621 that Ron Rivera is meeting with the #Redskins tomorrow.

Would think that’s at Redskins Park (or close by) which means an announcement could come pretty quickly.

Ron Rivera has emerged as a top candidate for the #Redskins and if tomorrow goes well, this could end with a new coach in Washington. https://t.co/DzK1gpvzqB
