NFL owners unanimously approved Josh Harris and his ownership group’s purchase of the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder at Thursday’s league meeting in Minnesota, commissioner Roger Goodell announced.
Tanya and Dan Snyder agreed in May to sell the franchise to Harris and his group, which includes former NBA star Magic Johnson and billionaire Mitchell Rales. Final approval of the sale required at least 24 NFL owners to accept the deal.
The Commanders reportedly sold for $6.05 billion, breaking the record for the most expensive acquisition of a U.S. sports franchise.
