Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder go way back. When Snyder bought the Washington franchise in 1999, Jones quickly took Snyder under his wing. And despite the pair owning rival organizations, they’ve remained close throughout the years, with many describing Jones as Snyder’s biggest — and sometimes only — ally.
There have been questions the pair aren’t as close as they were in the past. Something Jones has acknowledged but dismissed any notion that there was friction between him and Snyder.
At the NFL owners meetings this week, Jones fielded questions about the Snyders and the potential sale of the Commanders. He called the Washington franchise a “national treasure,” noting its importance to the NFL.
On Tuesday, Jones took more questions on the Commanders, one of which was regarding the NFL’s investigation into Snyder, led by Mary Jo White.
Jones wants the NFL to release the entire White report when it is complete. White’s investigation began in February 2022 and could be completed at any time.
Why would Jones want the NFL to release the results of White’s investigation?
“Because I know everything in the report,” Jones said.

He didn’t elaborate on what he meant. Presumably, he didn’t think the report would be too damning from Snyder’s perspective. Obviously, that’s speculation, but Jones has said before at least one of the investigations into Snyder and Washington was “stupid” and “politically biased.”
Jones spoke on the same day that Washington reportedly received a pair of $6 billion bids for the franchise.
