The Detroit Lions lost one member of their front office this offseason, when Lance Newmark left after 26 years to become the Washington Commanders’ assistant general manager. On Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported the Commanders were “working to hire” Lions senior director of football administration Brandon Sosna to an undisclosed “high-ranking” role in their front office.
The Commanders have confirmed the hiring of Sosna.
The Lions hired the 31-year old Sosna in 2022. He spent three years at USC prior to coming to Detroit, and before that he had spent time in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. He was certainly key to the Lions’ offseason this year as the lead contract negotiator, with the three big contract extensions that got done in recent weeks.
According to Schefter, Sosna will be the Commanders’ lead contract negotiator amid a wide swath of duties that will come with his promotion.
