Commanders News: Dan Snyder, Jason Wright, Sam Howell and free-agent touted

Action demanded on outgoing Commanders owner
Dan Snyder is going to make a healthy profit on the Washington Commanders after buying the franchise for $800 million. But if the disgraced outgoing owner thought he was going to ride off into the sunset with $6.05 billion and little pushback, he might be out of luck.
Although it's played second-fiddle to the sale itself in recent weeks, there are still investigations and revelations pending where Snyder is concerned. Perhaps the biggest of all centers on the Mary Jo White report highlighting the toxic workplace culture and sexual misconduct allegations.
Roger Goodell has previously indicated the full report will be released. Nothing appears imminent, but house representative Jamie Raskin has written to the NFL commissioner asking him to honor this promise via The Washington Post reporter Mark Maske and Twitter.
"In light of the impending sale of the Commanders franchise, I urge you to honor your commitment to release the report in its entirety and ‘take additional disciplinary action if warranted."

Snyder was initially looking for some sort of clause that prevented any further repercussions before giving up his boyhood team. That didn't materialize, and now those affected by his complete mismanagement can hopefully get some sort of closure.
In truth, Goodell probably wants his Snyder problem to go away without these revelations coming to light. But that would be unfair to the brave individuals that stepped up and made everyone aware of what was transpiring behind the scenes.
