For what it's worth, I don't think he ever said it was his dream to own the team, only that he was a ball boy for them as a kid and therefore had a soft spot for the team. I could be wrong, though. I belive he used to root for this team, not sure if he still does but he's what like in his mid 90s now?

He's actually 92 ... wow, didn't realize he was that old... Yeah, he's not going to buy the team. His window was when JKC passed and his son put it up for sale. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, though. “Warren Buffett dreamed of owning Washington Redskins The Washington Redskins aren't for sale and don't figure to be in the near future, but that can't stop a man from dreaming. Billionaire Warren Buffett says he dreamed of owning the franchise as a kid growing up in Washington, D.C., which he moved to in 1942 at the age of 12.” https://www.nfl.com/_amp/warren-buffett-dreamed-of-owning-washington-redskins-0ap2000000316686 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 7 hours ago, Andre The Giant said: One thing with which I’m struggling, the ESPN story obviously hurts Snyder, but makes Roger look bad too. Would he have authorized the leak to show the other primary owners just how far he’ll go to the mat for them (worth it to put the pressure on Dan). Or did someone else in the league leak it, not caring if Roger got caught in the cross fire? None of those people. League or Dan wouldn't, there's no leverage gained. I guess you could say the league, but Roger wouldn't let those documents leak if the Wilkinson report hasn't leaked. Someone connected to the US Attorney's Office in VA investigation most likely leaked due to political connections. Remember, Dwight Schar is really politically connected. He was the finance chair of the Republican party if I'm not mistaken. I can see the documents leaked as a favor to Dwight in some way because the minority partners' shares were sold for what now looks like way below market value for this franchise's valuation, even three years ago. Remember, Carolinia (not the market DC) was essentially used as a comp for the minority shares' sale, 2.275 billion was the sale value. I can see Rothman, Schar, and Smith wanting a larger sum since it appears in DVN's story they didn't get a fair shake during the arbitration/mediation with Roger. With Washington's sale potentially going for 5-6 billion, Smith not allowed to sell his shares to someone who eventually bought minority shares in Atlanta, and sale price likely to over 2.5 times the valuation just three years ago; someone wants money and these leaks help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes sense, but would ESPN be willing to risk angering their business partner (NFL) by running with this story if they didn’t have implicit permission? They’ve hardly hid from promoting it. Von Natta was on like every DC Radio show and multiple podcasts this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) He can get a first for Kirk, but heck lets flub that turn it into a 3rd round comp pick, a first for Trent but lets wait it out and lower his trade value and get a third. It would be fitting for Dan to cost himself some serious money in that same token. He gets fleeced in just about every trade-negotiation, why not here too?

rockluc Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 The other owners may be thinking they have Dan in a box here. Either he agrees to a deal very soon or they vote him out. Some would say he would tie it up in court for years but that would cost millions in legal fees and at the end of it he either loses the franchise or he keeps it but his finances are in even worse shape then they are now and he still can’t afford to pay his debts or build a new stadium. Feels like the smart thing would be for Dan to get an agreement in principle before March 27 as that’s likely to be peak value but it’s Dan so who the hell knows what he’ll do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell I'd be surprised if he ended up getting nowhere near 6b. I want this to go as poorly for Snyder as possible. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, he's done here that ended positively. Also, would it shock anyone if he declared bankruptcy in 10-15 years? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t financially afford to keep this tied up in court for several years, which is what the other owners voting him out would start. He certainly can’t use the team any longer to fund his personal life… so that’s out. So, yes… I can totally see him bankrupt, but in much less time. Only Dan Snyder could **** up becoming literally a multi-billionaire. Edited March 5, 2023 by ntotoro 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think there’s a strong possibility that a deal is agree on principle before March 27 even if it might be early summer before it’s approved. Dan can’t afford to lose what little leverage he has here. Of course it’s Dan so expect him to take the dumbest route possible and prove us all wrong. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already expecting the dumbest route possible for him. But I still suspect he'll do something even dumber.

TheGoodBits Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Fertitta’s company owns Morton’s, so that makes a lot of sense. It’s where deals happen with Dan Snyder. Maybe Eddie Royal is part of the ownership group. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre The Giant Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) In a recent podcast, the New York Post’s Josh Kosman said he thought Fertitta would be a better prospective owner than Josh Harris, because Harris is more of an investor and Fertitta really wants to own a football team. No idea of Kosman’s relationship with Fertitta. Edited March 5, 2023 by Andre The Giant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
