Dan Snyder and the future of the potential Washington Commanders sale was a topic of conversation among NFL owners during the two days of committee meetings in Florida this week ahead of the league’s annual meetings at the end of the month, according to multiple reports.
The Washington Post reported, citing three people with knowledge of the discussions, the owners did not make any decisions about the prospects of voting to remove Dan Snyder if he does not sell the franchise.
The sale process of the Washington franchise was discussed by the owners' finance committee, the Post reported. And, according to people who attended the meetings, the league and owners have received “little feedback” from Dan Snyder about “the specifics of the bidding process,” the Post reported.
Dan Snyder was not at the meetings in Florida, but the team was represented by his wife and co-CEO Tanya Snyder, who has represented the franchise at the last several league gatherings since July 2021.
There was no indication Tanya Snyder discussed the sale at the meetings. And the Commanders' owners are not members of the finance committee.
At the 2022 annual league meeting, Dan Snyder was assigned to committees involving legalized sports betting, business ventures, fan engagement and major events, and international.

The Post reported that some of the owners at the meeting were hopeful that a sale would happen before a vote was necessary. However, other owners were reportedly not as optimistic about that prospect.
The owners will meet next in Arizona at the annual meeting which is scheduled to begin on March 26. It is believed many owners are hoping for a clearer picture of the sale process when they meet again, and it is possible, but seemingly unlikely they will hold a vote on forcing the Snyder family to sell the franchise they purchased in 1999.
