Could Dan and Tanya Snyder be selling the Washington Commanders soon?
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Snyders have “cleared out” of Washington’s team facility in Ashburn, and some believe a sale is “imminent.”
Furthermore, Florio’s sources indicate that a sale could be ” approved and announced as soon as the upcoming league meetings in Arizona.”
The league has targeted March’s owner meetings for months as the time other owners hoped to vote on a potential new owner for the Commanders. However, multiple reports in recent weeks have created some hesitation. One of those reports says Snyder wants fellow owners and the NFL to indemnify him against future legal liabilities and costs if he sells the franchise he’s owned since 1999.
Florio’s report doesn’t indicate who a potential buyer could be. Still, Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris has been the favorite since Snyder was allegedly freezing out Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Helping Harris’ cause is the addition of D.C. billionaire Mitchell Rales as a partner in his bid.
It’s not known if Bezos was allowed to bid on the Commanders, but he did hire an investment firm familiar with the sale of sports franchises to consider a bid.
The NFL owner’s meetings begin on Sunday, March 26.
