When Daniel Snyder bought the then-Washington Redskins in 1999, he did so for a price of $800 million. On Thursday, the sale of the now-Washington Commanders from Snyder to Josh Harris was made official, and Snyder sold the team for a record $6.05 billion.
“Congratulations to Josh Harris and his impressive group of partners,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Josh will be a great addition to the NFL. He has a remarkable record in business, sports, and in his communities. The diverse group that Josh has put together is outstanding for its business acumen and strong Washington ties and we welcome them to the NFL as well.
