Ron Rivera was declared cancer-free after a checkup Thursday.

Rivera, who announced on Aug. 20 that he had squamous cell cancer, tweeted thanks Thursday for the support he received during his treatment and recovery.

"Thank you everyone for your prayers, letters, texts & notes of encouragement & support. It truly made a difference in my treatment & recovery!#RiveraStrong @WashingtonNFL," he wrote.

The Washington Football Team coach needed to undergo seven weeks of treatment for the cancer during the season, which included three rounds of chemotherapy and proton therapy five days a week.

The Washington Football Team is making Jennifer King a full-time offensive assistant.

King spent this past season as a coaching intern.

She will become the first full-time African-American female coach in NFL history.

The Washington Football Team has hired Martin Mayhew as its new general manager.

Mayhew was most recently an executive in the San Francisco 49ers' front office.

He served as the Detroit Lions' general manager from 2008 to 2015 after eight years in the front office.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to a one-year deal with Dwayne Haskins.

Haskins was a first round pick in 2019 but was released by the Washington Football Team in December after a second breach of COVID-19 protocols. 

Haskins started the first four games, throwing four touchdown passes to three interceptions but with a 29.8 total QBR.

Haskins shares an agent with Mike Tomlin. 

The Washington Football Team is expected to make Marty Hurney its new general manager, according to sources.

Hurney spent parts of five seasons with Ron Rivera with the Carolina Panthers, having been fired twice. He hired Rivera in 2011 and spent one more year there before being ousted.

Chase Young made it clear this past Sunday night that he wanted to face Tom Brady and that hasn't changed even though some tried to turn his comments into bulletin board material.

After Sunday's NFC East title-clinching win, Young was caught on camera saying, "Tom Brady, Tom Brady, I'm coming! I want Tom! I want Tom."

The Washington Football Team will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend in the Wild Card round.

"I play ball," Young said. "I'm excited to go against the best. The media, their job is to stir it up. If you know me, I'm excited for every game. Tom Brady, you think I'm not excited to play against the GOAT? You trippin'. I'm not going to apologize for saying I want Tom. No, I want every quarterback I play against."

Earlier this week, Ron Rivera said it will become "bulletin board material" for Tampa.

"They'll have fun with it. You've got to chalk it up to youthful exuberance, but that's who Chase is," Rivera said. "I do cringe, but at the same time I smile at it because he loves playing the game. I think that's what it's all about. That's who Chase is. That's the kind of guy we want on our football team."
