Robert Griffin III was among the many NFL fans who were excited when Dan and Tanya Snyder announced that they have reached an agreement to sell the Commanders to 76ers and Devils co-owner Josh Harris on Friday.
The Snyders are reportedly set to sell the franchise to Harris and his business partners of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment for $6.05 billion, according to ESPN. Griffin, who spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Washington franchise, was thrilled about the change in leadership.
“Overjoyed FOR THE FANS of the Washington Commanders and it’s players. The fans will come back, the team will be a winner again, the players will get the facilities they deserve and the Washington Commanders will rise back to prominence under the leadership of Josh Harris’s Group,” Griffin tweeted, along with video of his reaction to the news on NFL Live.
