Cooke Dynasty Stable

The stadium will continue to be built. The team will keep signing and cutting players. And the Washington Redskins will be selling out every game.

And a Cooke - John Kent Cooke, son of the late owner - will still be in charge.

Players, coaches and management on Monday mourned the death of Jack Kent Cooke, the cantankerous 84-year-old owner, who made the Redskins the sports centerpiece of the nation’s capital.

But the Redskins insist the franchise will carry on without major disruption.

“I don’t think anyone is going to notice a difference in how the organization is run,” general manager Charley Casserly said. “We’re certainly well prepared, and once we get through this period of grief here, we’re going to be rolling, and we’re going to keep going.”
