Jason Wright initially answered with one word when asked if he views a sale of Washington Commanders as a positive. “Yes,” the team president said.
PHOENIX — Jason Wright initially answered with one word when asked if he views a sale of Washington Commanders as a positive.Wright said Tuesday evening that owner Dan Snyder selling the team will provide a “substantial boost” to the franchise whenever that time comes. That will be reflected, he said, on the business side — which Wright expects to see “accelerate” and be able to further invest on the football side of the building.
The Commanders have been on the market since at least November, when the team announced the Snyders hired an investment bank to explore “potential transactions” of the franchise. A team spokesperson said then that meant the team was exploring “all options,” including a full sale.“I don’t know what indicators they’re giving that they’re not ,” Wright laughed.
One overhaul left unsolved for Wright? The Commanders’ stadium situation. Asked if the sales process has delayed the progress of the Commanders finding a new home, Wright acknowledged that there are aspects of that search that have “slowed down” as the team waits for a new owner. “You can’t make a decision on where you’re going to be when the person who is investing and building in that is not there,” Wright said.
