NFL Owners and Ownership Structure

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Tom Brady could join Raiders ownership.​

The ever-restless Brady is reportedly considering pulling out of his broadcasting agreement with Fox Sports and joining Mark Davis as a limited partner with the Raiders. There has also been some loose talk of Brady getting involved with the Dolphins, perhaps as a part-owner and perhaps as a player. It's hard to say what Brady, 45, is going to do next. If he joins the Raiders, hopefully he can pass on some helpful advice to Jimmy Garoppolo.
You know you are broke as f**k when you have to sell part ownership to the man who started the dark ages for the franchise with the Tuck rule.
 

The Washington Post reports members of the NFL finance committee believe it's unlikely owners will vote to approve the sale of the Commanders during their May 22-23 meeting.​

The NFL has raised concerns over the sale of the Commanders and the large number of limited partners in new owner Josh Harris’s $6.05B deal. Harris is expected to be approved, but the vetting could delay the process and put the chances of taking over before Week 1 in jeopardy. The league's next owners meeting is scheduled for October. If no vote is taken, the NFL could schedule a meeting for the owners to vote this summer.

Let me paraphrase the prospectus...

We have a favorable slave labour agreement with extremely limited liability around the primary asset (player) welfare, an ability to extract public funds for private capital asset growth and a monopolistic revenue share program.

Sounds like the modern day plantation owner to me.

The Washington Post’s Mark Maske and Nicki Jhabvala report, “Legal issues between the NFL and representatives for Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder threaten to complicate the approval and closing of Snyder’s $6.05 billion sale of the franchise to a group led by Josh Harris.”

According to the Post, it’s not exactly clear whether or not these issues will prevent the league and its owners from meeting next week to approve the sale of the team, but one person familiar with the situation described the issues as “significant” and “not just some small snag.” While it’s possible the league could delay the vote to oust Snyder in favor of Harris, it was also pointed out that these issues could be little more than Snyder and his attorneys “attempting to extract last-minute concessions from the NFL.” Whether this delays the sale or not, Snyder appears to be on the outs when all is said and done. The league appears ready to be done with Snyder and his history of antics that have made the Commanders a near-impossible team to support and/or market. The league is set to vote on the sale on July 20th, giving them a little less than a week to iron out whatever issues are at hand.
 
The league has approved the Washington Commanders’ sale from Daniel Snyder to private equity investor Josh Harris for $6.05 billion in a unanimous vote.

It’s not officially official, but there is no turning back now. Harris could assume formal control as early as Friday. The owner of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and NHL’s New Jersey Devils, Harris has had more success in those two sports than Snyder ever mustered in the NFL. Essentially anyone would be a better steward of this franchise than Snyder, even if they themselves prove to be a mediocre owner.

ESPN’s Tisha Thompson reports former Cardinals HC Steve Wilks said under oath that former GM Steve Keim and owner Michael Bidwill forced communication with Keim during his suspension.

Keim was jailed and suspended by the NFL in 2018 after being arrested for a DUI. Wilks testified that Bidwill and Keim gave Wilks a burner cell phone to continue to communicate with Keim during his suspension. Keim left the organization in 2022 to focus on his health. Wilks alleged racial discrimination against the Cardinals after being fired by the organization following one season.
