How much will it cost to buy the Washington Commanders? Dan Snyder finally decides to put franchise for sale

Washington Football Team Announces Name Change to Washington Commanders

Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder is facing multiple investigations concering how he operates the franchise.

Snyder and the Washington Commanders are currently under investigation by Congress, the Virginia Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission with the hits cutting across the political spectrum.

This is in addition to the previous investigation by the league into the team's workplace culture that showed worrying signs of misogyny in the ranks.

Now, it seems the NFL owners are getting frustrated with the continuous negative image being foisted by the Washington Commanders on them and have, it appears, succeeded in their efforts to force Dan Snyder to sell.

How can one buy the Washington Commanders off Dan Snyder?

As per Forbes, the current valuation of the Washington Commanders is $5.6 billion.

So for any potential buyer, one would have to cough up that much cash to take it off Dan Snyder's hands.

However, the Snyders are reportedly considering 'multiple options', indicating that they could hang on to a piece of the franchise and sell a minority stake to get the league off their backs.

That is where the current investigations into his stewardship of the Commanders come in.

Initially, they were under investigation for a hostile workplace environment by the NFL. There were serious allegations of sexual harassment as well.

It was alleged that cheerleaders with the franchise were mistreated and exploited. Such investigations led to Dan Snyder giving up his ownership in name to his wife Tanya Snyder.

Despite calls for the NFL to make the details of those investigations public, after it had claimed Jon Gruden's career with the Las Vegas Raiders, they never did so.

Now, Congress has gotten involved, and it seems that, while investigating workplace conduct, they have found some facts relating to financial impropriety, which the team has denied.

But they are not alone, with the NFL also investigating if the Washington Commaders withheld ticket money from the league.

In addition, the attorneys general in Virginia and Washington DC are investigating the franchise for financial issues and sexual harassment respectively.

All of this has led to a headache for the owners of the other teams, with Indianapolis Colts owner being vocal about his stance on Snyder's stewardship of a valuable franchise.
