Wright will have a chance to prove himself under new ownership.

Jason Wright will be retained.

When the Josh Harris Group is named by the NFL later in July as the official owners of the Washington Commanders, apparently present Commanders President Jason Wright will not be replaced.

Ron Rivera has been in charge of the football operations since being hired by outgoing owner Daniel Snyder in 2020. Wright was hired and became the first Black team president in league history when he was hired in August 2020 to head the business operations of the Commanders.

It is hard to read what the import of this announcement actually communicates. Does it indicate Wright is safe and the Harris group is going to keep him? Is it because the purchase of the team coming only days before the opening of the 2023 seasons’ training camp, the common sense move would be to make no move? This could provide Harris time to evaluate Wright’s effectiveness during the 2023 season.

One side of the coin could be that there are those who feel Wright needs an opportunity to show what he can do under different ownership. The other side of the coin would state that the business side has executed more than a few sloppy errors, even comical at times, this being under the supervision of Wright.

The rebrand announcement televised on NBC led by Wright left viewers wondering how much forethought and planning occurred. There was little excitement when Doug Williams was asked by Wright to simply utter, “We are the Commanders.” Why so anticlimactic? Why was there no enthusiasm planned?

Then there were both Sean Taylor days being huge disappointments with, again, little to show in organization and thoughtfulness. The team also was selling mugs with the Washington State geographical design on the mug.

How in the world does that get by several people? What type of leadership and oversight was there in that process? What does that say for cultural literacy as well within the organization?

Then when the Commanders announced they were announcing the 90 Greatest players in franchise history, there was a comedy of errors, so many in fact it ceased to be funny. It was, no exaggeration, an embarrassment for a professional sports league organization.

Yet, there will be those who feel Wright deserves a clean slate, placing all of the blame for his lack of effectiveness on Daniel and Tanya Snyder. His supporters will convey that an immediate dismissal of Wright would be reactionary and not fair to him.

Brian Davis’ UEE files suit, still desires to purchase the Commanders

Brian Davis is suing Bank of America, still wants to purchase the Commanders.

Former Duke basketball player Brian Davis is in the news again regarding the Washington Commanders.

Davis had been in the news a few weeks ago, stating on the Junkies of 106.7 The Fan program that he had billions in cash and could buy the Commanders.

Friday, Davis’ company Urban Echo Energy LLC filed suit against Bank of America to credit $5.1 billion to its account.

The plaintiff believes owner Daniel Snyder would have accepted his offer to purchase the Commanders over the offer by Josh Harris. But, according to Davis, the Snyders were not aware of the $5.1 billion was being held in limbo by Bank of America.

The Plaintiff is also declaring that he has now suffered damages because another party (Josh Harris) has later entered his bid for the Commanders, and the bid was accepted by the Snyders, setting the transaction in motion.

The Plaintiff is also asserting that Bank of America’s actions also led to devastating reputational damage.

Davis is claiming he is still desiring to purchase the Commanders and that he still needs immediate access to these funds to make a competing offer for the purchase of the Commanders.

We now await word to see if the court will feel there is any merit to these charges thus far.

Readers will recall that Davis never really was able to explain to the Junkies on their program segment where the actual money would be coming from, nor how he has that much money.

Many might also recall the red flag that was raised when Davis had claimed to have outbid Harris. Strangely Davis claimed to have outbid Harris by an entire billion dollars.

Readers might want to read Daniel Wallach for his explanation of what has thus far transpired. Here is the first of his thread posted Monday.
