Dan Snyder wants the NFL to “indemnify him against future legal liability and costs,” if he sells the Washington Commanders, according to a report from the Washington Post.
The Post reported Monday evening that the Commanders owner’s demands included a threat of a lawsuit if his conditions were not met.
The Commanders quickly denied the Post’s reporting.
“The story posted tonight by the Washington Post regarding the transaction process involving the Washington Commanders is simply untrue,” the team’s statement read.
Snyder’s demands have reportedly angered some NFL owners and renewed the prospects of league owners voting to remove him from ownership if the Commanders are not sold, per the Post.
A source to the Post said other owners view Snyder’s demands as “ridiculous” and “absurd” and that the indemnification should be granted by Snyder to cover the other owners.
The same source told the Post the other league owners would "definitely" move to a vote to remove Snyder, who bought the franchise in 1999, if he doe not complete the sale of the franchise.
Snyder and his wife, co-owner Tanya, announced they hired Bank of America to "consider potential transactions" for the franchise in Nov. 2022. Several suitors have emerged, but the process of selling the team does not appear to be going smoothly.
