NEWS: Commanders sale agreement sent to the league includes an indemnity provision for Dan Snyder, source tells @TheAthletic. Chipped in with @KaplanSportsBiz:https://t.co/dq2MBAD7my

Looks like indemnification is included in the agreement sent to the NFL from the Harris group. Great read from the Athletic. pic.twitter.com/n66Jbsm78c

I have deleted this quote tweet off a story regarding indemnification as part of the Commanders sale. The report is false, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. pic.twitter.com/qkDsSAS9rj

I am headed to play hockey and will do my best to delete any responses of mine off the story for which I based my replies off of. Definitely after my game, I will have addressed those if I miss any.

Nothing has changed with the Commanders’ sale. Josh Harris and Dan Snyder haven’t finalized a deal, sources tell @FOS. It’s common to share financial data with the NFL ahead an official announcement — and that’s not always limited to the likely winning bidder.
— A.J. Perez (@byajperez) April 17, 2023
It’s expected MJW’s report will hit after the sale is announced and before Harris is approved.
— A.J. Perez (@byajperez) April 18, 2023
UPDATE: Commanders sale to the Josh Harris Group, was already in the process of being submitted to NFL “before today”, according to sources.
I was also told, this was the case despite Bank of America requesting to review the $7B bid from DC native Brian Davis. @wusa9 #HTTC pic.twitter.com/YnQbm9r95d

I’m not sure I agree with this but I think it’s a great conversation. Are people more upset that the name isn’t Redskins anymore or that it’s Commanders? https://t.co/EPZ77C5ngx

Jalen Hurts has agreed to terms on a 5-year, $255.0M million extension with #Eagles. Hurts’ contract in total value ranks 3rd and he is now the highest paid player in NFL history in terms of average per year. pic.twitter.com/IY4kz8C1fn

In order to pull off those cap numbers, the structure of the contract could be something wacky like this: https://t.co/rjr8PQ6glq pic.twitter.com/GnuFu32FIn
— Nick Korte (@nickkorte) April 17, 2023
For those asking why this is a rare structure, if this is true, what the Eagles have effectively done is preemptively restructured his salaries for the first three years of the extension, instead of choosing to restructure at a later date depending on how he plays.

From NFL Now: Contracts are about compromise and negotiations. The #Ravens had tried many ways to do the same with Lamar Jackson, even offering him a deal that compares favorably to Jalen Hurts’. A look at how it ties together. pic.twitter.com/j5gZtAATZH

The NFC East now has $579 million, including $409.66 million in guaranteed money, invested in its four projected starting quarterbacks.
That includes a $4 million deal with $360,000 guaranteed for Commanders QB Sam Howell.
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RalphVacchiano) April 17, 2023
AAVs for NFC East QB1s in terms of new-money average:
Jalen Hurts: $51 million
Dak Prescott: $40 million
Daniel Jones: $40 million
Sam Howell: $1.005 millionThe #Commanders have an opportunity for a massive competitive advantage within the division if Sam is at least decent.

Lance said on his radio show late last week..after he did that mock draft..that he believes the Texans will ultimately take a QB at 2. I’m sure @LanceZierlein is tired of this but maybe he can jump in and give his opinion.

The @NHL is the most gate-driven of the four biggest U.S. sports leagues by far, as it lacks the large TV deals the others possess.
