Agrees to Sell Washington Commanders.
Dan Snyder has agreed in principle to sell the Washington Commanders to a group led by Josh Harris for a record $6 billion.
Harris is currently an owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils.
This sale comes as the NFL continues to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against team executives and Snyder.
The deal signifies the end of Snyder’s controversial tenure, marked by accusations of a toxic workplace and struggles to secure a new stadium.
The sale, initially reported by Sportico, was confirmed by an anonymous source familiar with the agreement.
This change in ownership offers the NFL a chance to move past this difficult period and improve the future of the Commanders franchise.
Commanders’ Dan Quinn on second chance as head coach: ‘You can’t turn back the clock, but you do have to learn the lesson’
Over three years in the making, Dan Quinn is getting another shot at leading an NFL squad, and he doesn’t intend to waste this opportunity.
Speaking to the media for the first time since the Washington Commanders announced him as their next head coach, Quinn reflected on his coaching history and his determination to take what he learned and use it in his second chance.
“Spoiler alert, you’ll hear me say often ‘Be where your feet are.’ And actually I try not to say it, I do try to live it, and I’m pretty good at it too, with one exception. Over the past few years, there’s five words that have probably tested my feet and my head: ‘If I get another shot,'” Quinn said. “And as a coach you prepare for it, you study for it, and there’s some lessons that you can’t study for, there’s lessons that you just have to live, and sometimes through success, and sometimes also through adversity. But once you learn those lessons, all you want to do is grab them and run. And prove it.
“So let me tell you, I am ready to run and prove it. Run like hell. I’m a little older, maybe a little more chrome, and hopefully a little bit wiser, but I’m also incredibly grateful for all of that that has led to my feet being here.”
