It sounds like fans of the Washington Commanders may finally be getting what they wanted after all these years. Last week, Forbes reported that Washington owners Dan and Tanya Snyder had hired Bank of America to explore potentially selling the team.
The Commanders confirmed the move.
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported Sunday that the Commanders are for sale and that the NFL would like to wrap this up within the next six months, potentially by the NFL owner’s meetings in March. Glazer said the Commanders could be sold for as much as $7 billion.
That didn’t stop fans at FedEx Field from chanting “sell the team” as they were leaving the stadium after Washington’s crushing 20-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
