The Washington Redskins laid off at least 20 employees at Redskins Park this week and an undetermined number at FedEx Field, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation.

No coaches, trainers or scouts were let go. Cuts included at least one team vice president and members of the legal, marketing, information technology, public relations, cheerleading, game-day operations, Redskins Television staffs, and two members of the football operations staff.

Several of those who were laid off said C.O.O. Mitch Gershman told them the team was laying off approximately 30 employees because of financial difficulties caused by the economy and a decrease in revenue.
