By Dean Jones
Which Washington Commanders news stories have been hitting the headlines as the Dan Snyder era looks to be finally and mercifully at an end?
After some initial concerns for fans earlier in the week, the news couldn't be more different right now regarding the Washington Commanders falling out of Dan Snyder's hands. Something that sparked jubilant scenes across social media and in bars around the D.C. area on a beautiful Friday evening.
There's a lot to pick apart in this complex scenario. Among the stories causing the most debate include Snyder's statement, what comes next, Josh Harris makes his intentions clear, and Magic Johnson's obvious delight.
Let's delve into each topic in more detail.
Story No. 1
Commanders sale - what comes next?
After months of speculation, the lengthy statement indicating the Washington Commanders would soon be sold to Josh Harris' group came with surprise and delight in equal measure. This is a far cry from the complications reported by The Washington Post earlier in the week, although A.J. Perez from Front Office Sports was more optimistic about something getting rubber-stamped.
It looks all over. But this won't become official until other NFL owners formally vote to approve the $6.05 billion purchase.
Considering the current timeline, a vote could occur during the next batch of owners' meetings on May 22. If not, then the league could arrange another gathering specifically to get this deal over the line once and for all.
Given how the NFL wants Dan Snyder gone, there could be a pretty quick resolution now that various statements have been made.
