Also for all that talk about indemnification, doesn’t appear there is any language that would require Harris to cover any fines from the ongoing investigations into Snyder and the team.

There was a reason I didn’t report about indemnification. You just found out why.

Told you all not to worry….

Update on timing with new info: There will be an update to the owners in May at the league meeting, either way. If it’s not ready for a final vote, the owners will reconvene in the coming months for a vote. https://t.co/bsSctcSXEW

Asked Commanders source if this is an exclusive agreement between the Snyders and Josh Harris, “signed agreement. Final.”

Josh Harris’ statement confirms Mitch Rales, David Blitzer & Magic Johnson as investors. Along with Mark Ein, Lee Ainslie, Eric Holoman, Michael Li, the Morgan family, the Santo Domingo family, Michael Sapir, Eric Schmidt and Andy Snyder among others. #Commanders #NFL @Team980

The Josh Harris statement included names of some of the group’s partners including Andy Snyder. He is the CEO of Cambridge Information Group. Believe this adds another local to the incoming group.

Andy who?? Gonna need a name change asap.

Josh Harris’ statement:

“I want to express how excited we are to be considered by the NFL to be the next owners of the Washington Commanders and how committed we are to delivering a championship-caliber franchise for this city and it’s fan base.”

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) May 12, 2023

I could not be more excited to be a partner in the proposed new ownership group for the Washington Commanders. Josh Harris has assembled an amazing group who share a commitment to not only doing great things on the field but to making a real impact in the DMV community. I’m so…

I’m trying to stay in my journalistic lane, but oh well not today. Congrats @Commanders and #Redskins fans. A day many wondered if it could ever happen has. Now it’s time to get things back to where it was and that’s showing the world the best fanbase in sports. Toast go out to… pic.twitter.com/bkddZkg5a2

What was unthinkable just six and-a-half months ago now is officially in place. The greatest development for our team since it won Super Bowl XXVI. The nightmare is truly ending. And the road back to glory can begin. #Commanders

5/12 is the day Commanders fans are going to remember as the last day Dan Snyder was the owner of the team. Obviously they still need to wait for the owners to approve it but just like 2/2 was the name announcement day 5/12 will be the Dan Snyderless day

— Mitchell Tischler (@Mitch_Tischler) May 12, 2023

NFL owners will be updated on the Commanders sale at their May 22-23 meeting in Minneapolis and it’s anticipated that a potential ratification vote by the owners would occur “in the coming months,” source says.

— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) May 12, 2023

Per a league source, the owners will get the details of the sale at the next owners meeting. (Those run May 22-23 in Minnesota). Doesn’t sound like there will be a vote, but one is expected well ahead of the start of the regular season.

Washington 1981-1999: averaged 9.1 wins per 16 games, 9.0% DVOA, avg DVOA rank 11th.

Washington 2000-2022: averaged 6.7 wins per 16 games, -6.5% DVOA, avg DVOA rank 20th.

Unmeasured by stats: all the embarassment.

Good riddance, Dan Snyder.

— Aaron Schatz (@FO_ASchatz) May 12, 2023

From 1981-1999, Washington had 10+ wins 8 times plus an 8-1 strike season. 13 times they were in the DVOA top 10.

From 2000-2022, Washington had 10+ wins only twice (2005, 2012) and ranked in the DVOA top 10 only twice (2005, 2016).

Nothing is finalized when it comes to the timing of the Mary Jo White report. But a source told @FOS that there has been talk that the report may not be released until much later this year to not interrupt Harris’ honeymoon period. https://t.co/y4gn69VkEe

Emmanuel Forbes with his first pick, stepping in front of Kyrie McGowan on a route over the middle. Liked how Forbes plays these routes; a little crouched and ready to pounce. What he did here to pick off Tim DeMorat.

I think it’s only fitting that we make week 1 against the Cardinals a packed house. That place will have an energy that I haven’t been able to see in my lifetime.

On September 10th, the Arizona Cardinals might be walking into a hornets nest. I mean FedEx Field might be the loudest it will have ever been. @Commanders fans will be screaming off 25 years of frustration and pure excitement for the future.

NFL schedule maker Mike North said today that the #Bengals volunteered to play on Black Friday every year and essentially make it a tradition just like Dallas and Detroit have on Thanksgiving.

League considered Steelers/Bengals, but ultimately chose Jets/Dolphins. Amazon…
