Sources tell @FOS that these are the options (in no particular order) for the future ownership of the Commanders:
Josh Harris
Jeff Bezos
Dan Snyder

Note: This is a very fluid situation. If it’s the final bullet, you all know the ramifications. https://t.co/NxLeyhBqFO

UPDATED: statement from Commanders & Dan Snyder’s lawyer responds to ESPN report on owner Snyder allegedly taking out a $55M credit line without knowledge & approval from minority partners. @wusa9 #HTTC pic.twitter.com/gttV9SZys6

This stuff is all part of the (messy) process, to be sure, but there’s an increasing sense this deal isn’t going to be done in time for the league meeting in less than a month.

Owners meet again in late May, which might be the last window before season opens.

Trying again with right link: With @DVNJr on his ESPN report about Dan Snyder’s financial issues. We discuss the report, what it means and the impact. We discuss the sale. Great insight from Don. @ESPNRichmond https://t.co/1FrkjdMb1W

DVN mentioned that the IRS is investigating as well as the FBI and others. This would make a lot of sense… https://t.co/1qmMdiyinF

Ron Rivera was asked about the ESPN story on Dan Snyder this morning and said, “About?” a couple times. He said he hasn’t seen it because he’s been in meetings all morning.

“It’s really nice to be here ‘cause we’re looking for football players.”

I asked Ron Rivera if Commanders ownership questions will impact the teams approach to free agency.
“It doesn’t.” pic.twitter.com/cAlcLaHijO

And if you don’t think this stuff impacts football ops you’re either naive or dumb. Cash problems. Fluidity issues. Long term deal for Payne? Nope. Just tag him. Go after another vet QB? Nah. Let’s see what Howell has. It all flows together.

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) February 28, 2023

Was listening to JP’s interview of Van Natta, and he said Dan is over a billion dollars in debt. Jesus Christ. No wonder he realized he had to sell, and is demanding a ton.

I thought David Tepper was a bad owner.

But after covering the #Commanders for almost a month now, too, he’s got absolutely nothing on Dan Snyder.

— Dean Jones (@DeanJones_) February 28, 2023

Ron Rivera on Sam Howell: “He’s not our starter. He’s coming in as QB1 and he’ll get a chance to be the starter.”

He added they’re looking to add a veteran and indicated Taylor Heinicke could be in the mix.

Must be new here. They’ve been on Snyder’s ass for 20 years. https://t.co/kyMW2vNTYY

Staff changes: Commanders hire Tavita Pritchard as QB coach; move Ken Zampese to role of Sr Off advisor/game management. Brent Vieselmeyer now the DB coach; Richard Rodgers now Sr Def asst/safeties; Cristian Garcia now asst DB/nickels coach. 1st NFL season for Pritchard; ex-QB

— John Keim (@john_keim) February 28, 2023

Note: Pritchard last month was demoted to QB coach, with a new coach taking over at Stanford for David Shaw. The new head coach, Troy Taylor, will handle OC duties. https://t.co/41NYULOnk9

On Bobby McCain’s *pre-June 1* release. Players released before the new league year starts cannot be designated post-June 1. The release generates $2.32 million in cap savings and a $2.8 million dead cap charge.

The number floated elsewhere yesterday suggested post-June 1. https://t.co/dCrRlQxfL5

I noticed a certain someone chiming in with support.

Despite what many people think, football is a brotherhood. That’s why it’s such a beautiful game. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/qxfjp9twL5

Kenny Golladay still has $4.5M in guaranteed money owed to him after his release.

Regardless of where he ends up next season and for how much, he has at least $4.5M headed his way this season. Heckuva deal signed in 2021 by him. https://t.co/Z7doKbKyvK

“On the New York [Giants] side of this, they are set on a certain number they think Daniel Jones is worth, and that’s nowhere near what Jones’ camp believes.”

#Eagles coach Nick Sirianni on the possibility of the push play being banned: “I think some defensive coaches are bringing that up. … I thought it was good for the game. Obviously I’m biased. We had a lot of success with it.” pic.twitter.com/o9IGTiyUeP

— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 28, 2023

It’s the NFL. If you don’t like it – stop it. I hate the idea of banning a play because it’s successful. Suck it up NFL DCs. Bullying your way into the endzone or for a big 4th down conversion is what the NFL is all about. Man the eff up.

If the Texans do trade him, it would be the 4th time that he would be traded:
•Saints (used 1st & 3rd to draft; traded 4th)→Patriots (1st & 3rd)
•Patriots (4th)→Rams (1st & 6th)
•Rams(4th)→Texans (2nd)
•Texans→?

Is there any other player that’s been traded 4 times? https://t.co/lhYGbA5JVO

The free agency frenzy is a hectic period on the NFL calendar with a language all its own. Fortunately, @FrontOfficeNFL has a glossary explaining all of the terms you need to know on franchise tags, contract language, the salary cap and much more.https://t.co/UD87tjSiy1 pic.twitter.com/ABOCoCUBvF

Spent the day evaluating Will Levis and I don’t understand how he’s being talked about in the 1st round.

Great arm, good anticipation in quick game concepts, but that’s about it. Not many high-level processing plays and has plays where he just forgets where the pocket should be.
