One of the hot topics at the NFL’s league meetings in Dallas this week was the Washington Commanders. Particularly a potential sale of the Commanders.
As expected, when NFL commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage, he was asked about the Commanders, and the commish didn’t reveal much.
“I don’t have any expectations on that,” Goodell stated. “Dan’s [Snyder] statement that he put out was that he was exploring that, and we’ll continue to work with him on that.”
Goodell is referring to the report last month that Snyder had hired Bank of America Securities to explore potential transactions with the team, a report the team confirmed.
Last week, the House Oversight Committee released the report from its investigation into owner Daniel Snyder and the Commanders, saying Snyder “permitted and participated” in the team’s toxic workplace culture.
Much more was included in the report, including that the NFL was complicit in Washington’s attempt to bury the Beth Wilkinson investigation.
Goodell again spoke of the positive changes in Washington’s organization since the Wilkinson investigation.
“The change has occurred with the Washington Commanders organization,” Goodell said. “That’s verified by audit. That’s the outcome we were seeking.”
Those comments aren’t going to excite Washington fans hoping Snyder sells the team. However, Goodell wasn’t going to publicly reveal what was happening behind the scenes with the Commanders.
