NFL eyeing 2 dates in coming months for owners to potentially vote on Commanders sale

Could we be close to the sale of the Washington Commanders being final? According to Ben Fischer of the Sports Business Journal, NFL owners have been told to reserve two dates for a possible special league meeting where they would likely vote on the Washington sale.

The dates — July 20 & Aug. 8 — line up with previous reports on a timeline for owners to vote on the sale.

Mark Maske of The Washington Post confirmed Fischer’s report, adding that the exact date, location and agenda would be confirmed at a later time.

If the owners can agree to the July 20 date, that would mean the Commanders’ sale would be completed one week before the team opens training camp in Ashburn.

Daniel Snyder bought the then-Redskins in 1999 for $800 million from the estate of Jack Kent Cooke. He finalized an agreement to sell the team to a group led by Josh Harris for $6.05 billion in May.
