Last week, news broke that Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder is taking steps toward selling the team as he and the franchise face a criminal investigation as well as league investigations for allegations of sexual harassment, misogyny, and financial fraud. But even though a few potential buyers have emerged despite the huge projected sale price, no sale has taken place yet. But apparently, that sale could happen in the near future.
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, league sources expect that Dan Snyder will sell the Washington Commanders “sooner than later” in the midst of all the controversy.
“The controversy continues to swirl around this team with at least five open investigations. I think a lot of people around the league believe that Dan Snyder’s going to wind up selling this team sooner rather than later,” Schefter said during “Monday Night Countdown,” according to Larry Brown Sports.
Not only does Schefter expect a sale, but he also expects that the sale will be “fast-tracked.”
“It certainly seems to be moving [towards a sale],” Schefter said. “We’ll see ultimately what he does, but I think a lot of people think this is a sale that will happen, and it will be fast-tracked.”
Based on Schefter’s intel, it sounds like we could be seeing new ownership of the Commanders very soon.
