Josh Harris’ takeover bid for the Washington Commanders, which he has been joined by Mitchell Rales and NBA legend Magic Johnson, has reportedly submitted a bid matching franchise owner Dan Snyder’s asking price.
Harris, Johnson and Co have been laying the groundwork for an acquisition of the Commanders from controversial owner Snyder for some time. Snyder has been under fire since an investigation commissioned by the NFL in 2020, and led by independent counsel Beth Wilkinson, stated that the franchise's workplace environment "both generally and particularly for women, was highly unprofessional."
Discussions about a vote to remove Snyder as Commanders owner have reportedly taken place among NFL owners - but talks paused as they waited to see developments on a potential sale.
