A day after reports surfaced that the Snyder family was nearing a deal to sell the Commanders to a group of buyers led by 76ers and Devils co-owner Josh Harris, Washington coach Ron Rivera offered his concise view of the seismic news on Friday.
“Kind of relief,” Rivera said, per Jarrett Bell of USA TODAY.
Rivera, who’s been the team’s coach since 2020, said that although the sale is not yet final, a resolution to the issue offers clarity and an ease of tension after so much time has passed in which the franchise’s ownership future was clouded in uncertainty.
