Michael Silver is one of the more respected journalists around the NFL. Silver is most famous for his time at Sports Illustrated, Yahoo Sports and the NFL Network, but last year he was hired by the Washington Football Team as a freelance contributor to the team’s official website.
Why would a respected journalist like Silver write for an NFL team’s website? In Silver’s case, it’s pretty simple, as he is close friends with WFT head coach Ron Rivera. The two go way back from their time at The University of California, Berkeley (Cal).
