Dan Snyder has named his wife, Tanya Snyder, co-CEO of The Washington Football Team, a move that was made public in an exclusive interview with The Wall Street Journal published on Tuesday.

"Sitting with her in a New York office, Snyder says he believes that, after entering last season in turmoil, the Washington Football Team heads into this next one having engineered a turnaround."
