If Daniel Snyder sells the Commanders, the RFK Stadium site could be back in play

Will Daniel Snyder actually sell the Washington Commanders? Wednesday’s news of Snyder hiring Bank of America to explore a possible sale shook the NFL world. Washington fans rejoiced while others could be described as cautiously optimistic.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk has been all over the Snyder news from the beginning. On Wednesday, Florio brought up an interesting point regarding Snyder. Whoever buys the Commanders — if Snyder sells them — could be handed the RFK Stadium site.

This would be massive.

Florio wonders if Snyder’s failure to land a stadium deal may have sealed his fate with the other owners.

Here’s one theory, from someone who routinely moves in league circles. A new owner will likely be handed the site of RFK Stadium for the construction of a state-of-the-art facility in D.C. Snyder, on the other hand, has no chance of getting anything done. No public official, from either side of the aisle, will want to deal with him.

Many around the NFL believed Snyder was in an enviable position when it came to acquiring a new stadium. The Commanders should have had Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia all vying for a new stadium. Now, none want any part of Snyder. His failure to land a new stadium reportedly upset the other owners.
